And here comes 2007!

Happy new year, everybody! It's almost 2007 on the East Coast, which begins the 35th anniversary year of the inception of the Eagles. Pretty amazing! OK, you know what I'm going to say next, don't you? Have a Funky New Year!

• You can find more photos from the Target Pro/Am on the official Tiger Woods site and Tiscali's Sports Gallery, or click here, here, and here for the photos by themselves.
• A quote about Frey by Tim Petrovic made The Orange County Register's Best Quotes from 2006 - it's the fifth one (note: it says a Frey/Henley show, but it was actually a Frey/Walsh show)
  
• On a less pleasant note, the Eagles are suing a Korean company for using Desperado without permission - read more at Channel News Asia.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

• You can find another photo of Frey and Tiger Woods from the Target Pro-Am in the Ventura County Star. The image is bigger when you download it - or, you can just click for the photo itself.
• Bob Seger quotes Frey in this Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article - scroll down to the bolded "How does it feel to be touring again and interacting with your fans?"

New Message Board!

I decided to switch from the old private message board to a new-and-improved open Eagles message board called The Border. Check it out!

I also upgraded the screen caps for I Found Somebody. They're still not terrific, but they're better than they were.

The downloads for this week: audio from one of the Millennium shows in 1999 - Seven Bridges Road. The video is Tequila Sunrise from Holland 1973. These will be the last download updates for 2006, as on Tuesday I'm heading to Houston to visit the family. I'll still do a brief "remote" update here and there, but no uploads from that painfully slow dial-up connection.

Frey Sightings

• Last Thursday, Frey played at Tiger Woods' Target World Challenge Pro-Am golf tourment in Thousand Oaks, California according to Yahoo News (check out the photo)! Also, there is a brief clip with Frey in it from that same event (thanks Kath).

Downloads - finally

Finally got the downloads rotated - the MP3 is Lyin' Eyes from Long Beach 1980 and the video is Livin' Right from Dublin 1992. Watching Glenn Frey get down and get funky in the latter might give you a lift - it helped me momentarily get my mind off of the fact that I have writer's block on my dissertation and that the little I have managed to write sucks.

• Lots of press regarding the recent Tiger Woods Benefit. There are mentions in Yahoo! Finance, Golf Digest, Noticias.info, and the OC Register. The press has also been added to the Tiger Woods Benefit page.

Forgotten Frey Sighting - Party of Two at Tiger Woods Benefit

I announced this a while back, but now that it's actually about to happen, I almost forgot to put it under "Frey Sightings." Glenn Frey and Joe Walsh will be playing at a Tiger Woods benefit this Saturday (Oct. 7) in Anaheim, California. No more tickets available though!

Download Rotation and New Information

Glenn Frey and Joe Walsh will be playing at another Tiger Woods benefit on October 7! It's in Anaheim, California. According to a recent news release, tickets start at $750. Find out more information on the official Tiger Woods Foundation Site or call (714) 816-1806.

More and more press is coming out about the new Eagles album thanks to Joe and Billboard.com. "The first half of next year" as a probable release time sounds good to me!

Now, for site updates. Barbara attended the Frey private show in Milwaukee and wrote a great review of it. Going back a little further, Jay sent in a few comments on a Party of Two show he saw back in 1993 in Hyannis, Massachusetts.

I also added some comments by Frey on On the Border to the song page in Quotable Frey, and a new Fun Fact that Frey was voted "Most Likely to Inhale" at Dondero High School. Of course, the sitemap has been updated for all this stuff!

Can't forget the downloads for this week - an MP3 of The One You Love from the Del Mar Fair in 1985 and a video of Take It Easy from Japan in 1995.

• Frey's comments on hybrids at the Michigan show didn't come out of the blue. As this 2003 article states, he and his wife Cindy have been involved with Laurie David's anti-SUV (and other environmentally harmful vehicles) crusade for a while now. Thanks to SS for the link.
• Miami Vice's incorporation of music such as Smuggler's Blues is blamed for popularizing the marketing of music through television programs in this article in the Age
• This article in the Denver Post asks why the Eagles' Greatest Hits is the best-selling album of all time
