Quote of the Day (Don Henley, on Glenn Frey, Eagles’ ‘Spark Plug’)
“Glenn was the one who started it all. He was the
spark plug, the man with the plan. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of popular
music and a work ethic that wouldn't quit. He was funny, bullheaded, mercurial,
generous, deeply talented and driven. … I'm not sure I believe in fate, but I
know that crossing paths with Glenn Lewis Frey in 1970 changed my life forever,
and it eventually had an impact on the lives of millions of other people all
over the planet. It will be very strange going forward in a world without him
in it. But, I will be grateful, every day, that he was in my life. Rest in
peace, my brother. You did what you set out to do, and then some."—Eagles
bandmate Don Henley, in a statement released in reaction to the death of Glenn
Frey, quoted in “Don Henley Calls Glenn Frey His 'Brother' In Heartbreaking Statement,” The Huffington Post, Jan. 18, 2016
Rest in peace, Glenn Frey (Nov. 6, 1948 – Jan. 18, 2016)—and thanks for the music: "Take It
Easy," "Peaceful Easy Feeling," "Already Gone,"
"Tequila Sunrise," "Lyin' Eyes," "New Kid in Town,"
and what many are feeling now, "Heartache Tonight."
I'm a librarian (no, NOT a "cybrarian" or "information scientist" or any of the other trendy terms the profession has come up with), as well as a freelance writer/researcher; my political leanings are contrarian, much to the dismay of friends on the left and right, and so I will give anyone looking for my vote exactly what they deserve -- the back of my hand
