    I never really liked Partytown but it had a very interesting list of backing vocalists, that amply displays Glenn's love of nicknames. I guess the tennis players are the only genuine names;

    Partytown (G Frey & J Tempchin)

    For all my friends at the Jerome Bar and diehard party people everywhere.
    Hopefully, you all know that you can't party all the time, but when you do,
    play this song.
    By the way, you got any?

    I'm a few days late, but Happy 35th anniversary to No Fun Aloud!! I honestly think that it may be second favorite of Glenn's solo albums

    So I was away when this album's birthday occurred but not to be remiss....

    HAPPY 35th BIRTHDAY to NO FUN ALOUD!!!
    Dang, I cannot believe it has hit 35!

    There are so many good songs but lately, my favorite has been "That Girl."

    Its an exceptionally good and totally underrated album IMHO. I love all the songs on it but I have to say 'She Can't Let Go' really pulls at my heartstrings. I've loved that one for years

    Love all the songs on this record but If I had to choose my most favorite it would be The One You Love. In fact was just singing it the other day acapella, lol!

    I love this one, too. "That Girl" and "I Volunteer" just make me sigh. "Partytown" just makes me laugh.

    Listening to "The Allnighter" (the song) right now. Am I the only who gets a little cross-eyed listening to this song?

    It just hit me: Dirt Band fans will recognize "The Jerome" reference in NFA. The NGDB released a song called "Bowlegs" in 1976.

    In the outro, Jeff and Fadden are yakking back and forth and Jeff says, "Well right now, we're gonna do a little headin' on back ourselves. Head on down to the local waterin' hole and take advantage of that happy hour."

    Fadden: "We're gonna go to the Jerome?"

    Jeff: "Let's go to the Jerome, man."

    Fadden: "All right!"

    Jeff: "They got a beer down there with my name on it."

    Fadden: "They got a beer called Jeff?"

    Must have been the local musician hangout in their part of LA.

    Just an interesting little tidbit on how paths continue to cross.

    Not sure if this has been posted before, but I found a good interview with Glenn after NFA was released.
    Enjoy!

    Thanks Pippin! Great article, I hadn't read it before. It tells a lot about how thoughts change throughout the years. I love how he talks about being 39 and having a beer belly and still singing Eagles songs. I'm sure in his wildest dreams he never imagined being in his late 60's singing Eagles songs to huge, adoring crowds. When you're young, you can never see yourself being older and still being mostly the same person you've always been!
