Look y'all - I don't know how to say this, but the older we get, the more likely we are to die. And we're all going to die sooner or later.

The founders and stalwarts of rock and roll are almost all in their 60's, 70's and 80's. Same with funk; same with R&B; same to a lesser degree with country.

There's nothing "going on". There's no need for multiple . This has nothing to do with anything except that most of the greatest musicians of our time are advanced in age (not to mention most lived very, very hard).

Appreciate who is here; respect those who leave. But don't get all over these things.

You said it perfectly. I was thinking the same thing. It's always sad for the ones they leave behind, but it's part of life. RIP Glenn.

It's a RIP thread. I don't think it's appropriate to dictate to such a diverse group of people how they should react to a death. Everyone knows that death is part of life but everybody has their own way of dealing with it.

Cut people some slack on such topics and keep the finger wagging to a minimum.

A thanks to you and to Erotic Dreamer. My cousins name was Adrianne, and she was 46.


Glen Frey's passing was shocking. Besides the stuff he did with The Eagles, i also enjoyed his solo stuff.



Anyway, im kinda in a fog, so im out.

Rest in Peace to all the recently departed.

Bruce Springsteen honored Glenn Frey at his concert on Tuesday night in Chicago. The Boss hit the stage solo and proceeded to play an acoustic rendition of "Take It Easy," the 1972 Eagles hit Frey co-wrote with Jackson Browne. (ABC News)

The thing that really pissed me off I have seen, and one article in particular for the Daily News on their website called, sorry that Glenn passed but the Eagles were the worst rock band ever. Shit like this drives me fucking insane, i already blasted this dude for being lower than scum for writing an article like this now, as if the opinion of a fucking blogger (wanna be writers) should be even printed. But honestly who gives a shit on your opinion, and also if you hate them or whatever, why dont wait till they aren't burying a member to chime in on this subject. Petty bullshit from wanna be writers, this is the type of person who i dont care if they lose their jobs.

RIP Glenn Frey

That's a very nice tribute, no frills... Just hope this tour doesn't turn into a repeat of others where it seems that Bruce is honoring yet another person's passage every night...

Glenn Frey’s Acting Career: From ‘Miami Vice’ to ‘Jerry Maguire’

By Jeff Giles January 19, 2016

The ’80s were the decade of the singing actor, with everyone from Rick Springfield and Don Johnson to Bruce Willis and soap star Jack Wagner scoring Top 40 hits while maintaining successful Hollywood careers. After the Eagles split in 1980, co-founder Glenn Frey decided to take his own shot at acting stardom.

.
Frey’s first role, fittingly enough, came in an episode of Miami Vice whose storyline had been inspired by his song “Smuggler’s Blues.” Airing in the midst of the show’s first season, “Smuggler’s Blues” found main characters Crockett and Tubbs (Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas) embarking on a secret mission to flush out a DEA leak with the aid of a guitar-toting pilot (Frey) who flies them to Colombia. Aided by its inclusion on the show’s soundtrack album, the single hit the Top 15, sandwiched between a pair of other singles that got a lift from television and film: “The Heat Is On” (from the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack) and “You Belong to the City” (also on the Miami Vice soundtrack).

.
Displaying a knack for portraying morally ambiguous guys, Frey parlayed his Miami Vice role into a string of other TV appearances, including a supporting role on the CBS crime drama Wiseguy, and moved into film with 1986’s Let’s Get Harry. Meanwhile, he continued to pursue his solo career into the early ’90s, releasing 1988’s Top 40 hit Soul Searchin’ and 1992’s Strange Weather while adding another soundtrack hit to his discography with the Thelma and Louise Adult Contemporary Top 10 single “Part of Me, Part of You.”

.
After the Eagles reunited in the early ’90s, Frey’s solo career — and acting ambitions – took a back seat. An attempt to turn him into a weekly leading man with the 1993 detective drama South of Sunset fizzled after one episode, but he continued to surface irregularly with memorable supporting appearances in Jerry Maguire and Arli$$ — and he even got the chance to reunite with Johnson during an episode of Nash Bridges. But he always returned to the band that, in many ways, offered him the role of a lifetime, and the one he was born to play. His final screen credit came courtesy of History of the Eagles, the 2013 documentary that offered a warts-and-all look at one of the most successful careers in modern American music.

Glenn Frey Was 'The James Dean' of the Eagles, Don Felder Writes

by Colin Stutz

Following Glenn Frey's death on Monday, his former bandmate Don Felder has issued a statement honoring the late Eagles co-founder, guitarist, singer and songwriter.

.

"Glenn’s passing was so unexpected and has left me with a very heavy heart filled with sorrow," said Felder. "He was so young and still full of amazing genius. He was an extremely talented songwriter, arranger, leader, singer, guitarist, you name it and Glenn could do it and create 'MAGIC' on the spot. His visions and insights into songs and lyrics have become legendary and will echo throughout time on this earth for decades to come."

.

Felder joined Eagles as lead guitarist in 1974 while the band was recording On the Border. He stayed in the band until 2001 when he was fired, later suing for alleged wrongful termination, among other complaints. The case was eventually settled out of court.

.

Felder said Tuesday that he had not been in contact for years with Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh or Timothy B. Schmit despite efforts to reach them. After finding out Frey was dead, he did receive a call from Randy Meisner, who has had his own health battles in recent years.

.

"He was in tears," Felder said.

.

"Glenn was the one who invited me to join the Eagles in 1974 and it turned out to be a gift of a lifetime to have spent so many years working side by side with him," Felder continued. "He was funny, strong, and generous. At times it felt like we were brothers and at other times, like brothers, we disagreed. Despite our struggles and difficult moments together we managed to create some magical songs, recordings and live show. His charisma on stage was felt and loved by millions of people all over the world.

.

"I have many wonderful memories of those years and the many miles I travelled with Glenn, filled with laughter, song, parties, hugs and brotherly bonds. Glenn was the James Dean of the band. He was the leader that we all looked to for direction and by far the coolest guy in the band. It saddens me a great deal that we were never able to address the issues that came between us and talk them through. Sadly now we will never get the chance.
.
"The planet has lost a great man and a wonderful musician today. None will ever be able to take his place.
.
"May you rest in peace Glenn Frey and may God bless you and your lovely family."

I loved his album "The Allnighter" when it was released back in 1984 and played it to death. I thought he was the hottest thing going in '84/'85 too. lol

It's like loosing a small piece of my youth... :-/
