Glen Frey has passed ...

They say it comes in 3's, David Bowie, Natalie Cole and now Glen Frey. It is sad to see all had their own special talent. Glen was a great writer with a wider fully smooth voice. I always felt Glen and Don Henley were their own version of a Lennon-McCartney duo.
He will be missed but his legacy lives on.

I meant, "it is sad to see, as they all had their own special talent", not that it was sad that they had talent. Also my sympathies to the Frey family, they lost him too early

RIP Glenn and thanks for your wonderful songwriting!  You, along with Don and all the excellent musicians that contributed to the Eagles over the years, have provided such great memories.  @ nonoise, I couldn't have said it any better.....

Glenn ..... I hope you rest in peace and finally get to "take it easy."

There was a really good 3 hour long or so Eagles documentary broadcast on HBO sometime last year which did a fine job of illuminating the band's history.  It also did a fine job of giving us a peek at "the star making machinery behind the popular song."
