I have no words to describe my grief.

I just saw the headline on Yahoo, and the irony, ( Yahoo being so overflowing with perfect journalistic skill haha ) is that the headline read ” died if INTENTIONAL” complications instead of INTESTINAL. I thought it was a botched suicide, good thing I read it all the way through!

RIP Glenn, you’ll be takin’ it easy for a long time now.

This one’s too close to home.
The Eagles defined my teen years, and beyond. To this day, even though I’ve heard it 1,000 times, I could sit down and listen to Hotel California and enjoy every word, every note. I have serious emotions attached to that music…not memories. emotions.
Entire phases of my life are defined by The Eagle’s Hotel California and Pink Floyd’s _Dark Side of the Moon”.

Night Glenn. Thanks. You made a mark that won’t be erased in the memory of man.

@ibstubro Wow, you must have lived my life. I agree with every thing you said.

The sound track of my twenties is fading away.

I followed the Eagles so closely, I even cam up with a poker game called Desperado – 7 card stud with the Queen of hearts wild, the Queen of Diamonds automatically folded your hand.

I lived in Santa Barbara when Hotel California came out, it came close to defining the lifestyle in those days of heady sinsemilla and lots of cocaine.

@ibstubro @chyna Yep, count me in that mix too. This 70’s girl is feeling her mortality creepeth up. haha
A ton of people die in their 60’s…it’s all life is short, in the grand scheme of things 50 years, 100 years, it’s all a miniscule drop in the cosmic bucket.

@zenvelo Haha…heavy sinsemilla and cocaine…memories of the way things were.

I am gobsmacked. I swear I was just wondering if I would ever see them in concert again. They were Excellent. One of the best shows was a double hit of The Eagles and The Dooby Brothers.It was one of the best concerts ever… He just had a way of bantering with the audience. At ease.
Well, shit.shit.shit. Each of these hits keeps getting worse. Wasn’t he just on Miami Vice last week? I bet this is kicking Don Henley’s feet out from under him. Awww, hell.
Glenn, thank you for some of the best.
Cheers. Clink

“Relax, ” said the night man,
“We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave! ”

Glenn will always be with us through his music. He can never leave.

Jesus, 2016 has been rough so far!!

I was interested to learn that ulcerative colitis was a factor here. He had just had an intestinal surgery.

Very sad. RIP

This was my favorite.

I started listening to them in my teens. A boy that I was dating introduced me to them. I could sing every song off of their greatest hits album if you ask me to. He was such a beautiful songwriter. What a loss.

*I can sing, I meant. Too late to edit.

Yeah, he was one of the best.
