Soda - I have bolded your thought to say that is what I would expect Don, Tim and Joe to say. How else can they legitimize their continuing after Don's saying over and over for an entire year that the band was over, that you can't go on without the guy who founded the band. It is the only way to make it legitimate and have the fans, or most fans accept it.
I agree, but that doesn't mean Glenn would have hated this iteration of the Eagles. There's no way of knowing how he would have felt, but it's hard to imagine he would have disliked seeing his son Deacon with his old band mates and his friend Vince Gill. No, it's not the same as the Eagles with Glenn, but the group sounds great and they seem to be having a great time. Except Deacon, they're in (or approaching, for Vince) their twilight years, and of course they won't be doing it much longer. If nothing else, I love seeing the smiles on the guys' faces when they're up their together.
ETA: This quote from Joe Walsh in the Michigan News-Herald seemed related:
“So we figured we would at least try it and see where it went and we worked on it and thought it through and we tried it out in Los Angeles and it was just magic. It really was. It was received wonderfully and the energy that we all have is very, very healing, so I think Glenn would be proud of this and we decided to do it some more.”
