Take It Easy Video

Well, the big day's over - hope Glenn had a good time on his 60th birthday. He deserves it. Thanks for the music and for all you've given of yourself, Glenn. Rock on!

I thought it might be fun to stick together a little montage of live performances of Take It Easy over the years.

Happy Birthday Glenn: Multimedia Treats

Of course, as I do every year on Glenn's birthday, I'm putting up the video from the Hotel California tour where JD Souther wishes him a happy birthday.

And we've got Glenn and Joe co-hosting the CMT Country Countdown USA about this time in 2007 (thanks Kay)! It's in 15 parts:

Part 6 :: Part 7 :: Part 8 :: Part 9 :: Part 10
Part 11 :: Part 12 :: Part 13 :: Part 14 :: Part 15

Happy 60th Birthday Glenn Frey!

It's past midnight on the East Coast, so I figure, I can go ahead and wish Glenn Frey a happy birthday! We've been celebrating all week with the various decades and today, it's going to be about the present day: Long Road Out of Eden goodies.

I'll start uploading those after I get home from work tomorrow. I gotta go to bed now. But I hope Glenn has a wonderful birthday!

Makin' the New Millennium

It's almost here - Glenn's 60th birthday is tomorrow! For today, I've got some goodies from the first part of this decade. I'm saving the Long Road Out of Eden stuff for tomorrow.

See you tomorrow when we go retro 80s!

6 Days 'Til 60!

Glenn Frey is turning 60 in just 6 days! To celebrate, we're going to do a little something every day until the big day, November 6. I'm going to go decade by decade, starting with the Longbranch Pennywhistle era of the late 60s. So let's take a step back in time to 1968-1969, when our hero was just becoming old enough to legally drink.

See a fashionably attired J.D Souther trying to rescue Glenn, who has obviously happily fallen into the clutches of a Kite Woman, on a wallpaper using the back cover of the Longbranch Pennywhistle album and an announcement from their first show at the Troubadour:

Check out an avatar of Glenn at 21:


There are also two new Longbranch Pennywhistle sidebars, which you should bring up eventually one of the times you hit the front page.

And our last item of the day: a video clip from the movie Vanishing Point, where you can hear the unreleased Longbranch Pennywhistle track "I Can't Believe It" (previously available here only as audio).
