Helen and I weren't old enough to drive so I'm guessing we were junior high age. My Dad was way cool and loved the Eagles from Day One. I chatted with him tonight (he's 84) over the death of Glen Frey and we mourned together.
Take It Easy............and so many hits. The Eagles were the soundtrack of my life.
He passed at age 67 - not that old in this day and age. I've seen the footage "the History of The Eagles" and they were so damn good. Great songwriting, good singing, and a lot of charisma.
David Bowie this past week..........now Glen Frey.............the soundtrack of my youth...........is passing away......
big sigh
But the music lives on............RIP Glen Frey
Great memory. He will be missed!
ReplyDeleteyep. I've got his music on right now
DeleteHi Joanne - you couldn't have described his passing better - sad they all seem to be going. There was another musician I think, and then our actor Alan Rickman (Snape in Harry Potter): all way too young.
ReplyDeleteI too loved the Eagles ... cheers Hilary
and I loved Alan Rickman too - Love Actually and so much more
DeleteNice tribute! There is No Generation Gap when it comes to The Eagles music..it will live on. Take It Easy Glen Fry!
ReplyDeleteyep - Already Gone but never forgotten
DeleteI was shocked to see that last night. Too young. Bowie-Rickman-Fry, all were too young. I wasn't an Eagles fan, but I do remember his solo work, especially for the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack.
ReplyDeletetalked to my Dad last night - Eagles are still one of his faves.
DeleteIt's been a bad month. I liked the popular Eagles songs, but don't know much about their music really. I have several friends who are big fans though.
ReplyDeletethere's a really good documentary on The History of the Eagles....you might like it
Delete67 seems much too young to die. It's been a sad month with the passing of so many favorites in the entertainment world. Frey leaves behind a great legacy in his music.
ReplyDeleteyep. January is always tough for deaths
DeleteI'm glad you had your father to take you to their first concert - that's amazing - and to mourn Glenn Frey's death. So sad. His/their tremendous legacy gives us more than words can say.
ReplyDeleteyep. Dad still loves the Eagles. My Dad is cool at 84. At least music lives on.....
