I'm a big fan of The Eagles too. Such sad news.

Wow - first Bowie now Glenn Frey - not a good year for musicians so far ...

No, it really isn't. Here's hoping we don't have to lose too many more, but it's true that so many old rockers are getting exactly that, and it isn't always easy to keep good health as the years go by.

I was stunned as well. 2016 is coming for us all without regret. :/

It surely is. It's making me feel old, even though I still have another 15 years before I'm Glenn's age...

I hear ya. :/ Just hearing the music I liked in high school on the 'oldies' station is more than I can handle. :)

I keep doing that thing where they play some old song and talk about how it's 30 years old and I'm like 'it only came out in 1982'... or else ask one of my kids why they don't know some old song that came out 15 years before they were born... because y'know, it's just IMPOSSIBLE that the song in question is THAT old! (oh what, like me? Yeah, that! ;-P )
