I call it seriously money grubbing and not right, he calls it really historical.

I agree. The Eagles need the money even less than FM. Money grubbing indeed.

They all must be seriously addicted to the adulation of being on stage(not joking at all, seriously - if you're going to whore your brand out).

I agree that the need to play to thousands of fans is part of the lure, in addition to the money. Henley solo is the biggest name, but he can never hope to draw Eagle-sized crowds. If he wants the arena crowds, he needs the brand.

To me, though, that brand means nothing without Glenn Frey. It would be like Fleetwood Mac without Mick Fleetwood!

I am really bummed that when I finally get to see the Eagles live, Glenn is dead, his songs are my favorite. I want to see Lyin Eyes live so bad. I am really hoping Jackson Browne is filling in for Glenn and they still play all Glenn's songs.

Stevie and Don seem to be in the same boat.

It was Glenn's band. They've got a gazillion dollars. I think it's tacky as hell that they're carrying on without him.

I agree. It seems very distasteful.

Tacky ..I really thought that they meant it that they would disband when Glenn passed but not totally surprised that greed won out again with these geezers.
