Sorry for your loss.

And your last sentence comes across as very insincere and disingenuous. You need to show some respect for the dead. Terrible thing to say.

Even one of his closest friends and band mate called him "
bullheaded," and you find fault cause I said '
Yeah he sang "Take It Easy," but can't say he did.' I am an Eagles fan (just like the few Rock fans here are) and I've seen them in concert too. I remember seeing a Rockumentary on the Eagles, which probably aired cause they were touring. While watching the doc and watching the history of the band unfold, and seeing the band dynamic I began to side with the underdogs
i.e. Bernie Leadon, Randy Meisner and Don Felder. They had their side of the story and he had his. Like I said it's about band politics, he seemed not to take it easy when it came to dealing with other band members. And that's reason I said '
Yeah he sang "Take It Easy," but can't say he did.' I wasn't trying to be mean, disrespectful, insincere or disingenuous.
Maybe he mellowed with age, and seen things differently, idk. Now whether or not Glenn Frey made kept in contact after they were no longer part of the band I don't know, to me that is more important than concert numbers, album sales or how much money is made. I do remember Paul saying in retrospect he would handle things differently with Pete Best. I'm guessing Glenn Frey had the same sentiments.
