Both passed away yesterday as well. Gettin' a lil' weird....
Was really sad about this one (and, of course Bowie AND Alan Rickman).

We cannot leave out Dallas Taylor...

Cameron Crowe wrote a nice piece on Glenn Frey. I had no idea they were good friends. Cameron Crowe wrote one of my favorite movies ever, Fast Times Ridgemont High. Crowe discloses that one of Damone's lines in the movie was taken from something that Frey said to him in real life.

There is no better way to define a band's greatness than how the music stands the test of time. Their music has totally stood the test of time.

These guys who write these ludicrous articles are guys who have no ear for music and no taste. I actually know a couple of people who don't like the Beatles. But these same people would have no idea if I was singing on key or not. They have no ear. So their opinion is meaningless.

You know the saying Rupert...opinions are like a-holes...everyone has one. I think The Eagles were a joke..a horrible SoCal mess of country and "rock"...a gazillion people disagree and they made a fortune because of that. I just thought that headline was hilarious because it was, IMO, so true

After the long run.... Many moons ago... They have done nothing good and new in ages . A nostalgia act at best. Henley and Frey were big egos who screwed the band whenever possible . History of the Eagles shows their true colors.
