Shyheels Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 It has been quite a fortnight in terms of losing icons. David Bowie, Alan Rickman and now Glen Frey of The Eagles. Bowie was something of a soundtrack to my youth, but The Eagles were THE soundtrack. Quite a poignant reminder of the passing of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meganiwish Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Indeed, any of us that have been at the front of a protest will know the smell of hot blue serge. 'Warm smell of policeman, rising up through the air.' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrfhf1Gv4Tw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, he has his own thread. 20 hours ago, beepy said: RIP Glenn That would be 'Warm smell of colitas, rising up...' Ah, but I'm an English girl and know little of these 'colitas' you speak of. I do know the smell of blue serge at close hand, though. I went to Greenham Common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dww Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Greenham Common, lovley place just down the road, I remember all those ladies camping outside. Taught my girlfriend to drive there on the main runway, 2nd longest in the country. Early 60's B52 taking off and landing every 10 minutes or so, Concorde did some landings there late sixties. Has a lot of memories for me. life is not a rehearsal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dww Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Oh I forgot the Eagles, used to listern to a lot of their music with my mates (work mates) I was working on the isle of wight installing the telephone exchange in Newport, crossbar in them days, guys used to go to Portsmouth on a Friday night to get there drugs etc come back and be high all weekend, tried it myself first in 1968 never did anything for me and all the times I tried it nothing so I did not bother, waste of time. life is not a rehearsal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXGuy Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 A little late to the thread. But Frey's passing was a surprise. My wife and I saw the Eagles on tour last year and Frey looked great. I guess his issues were not obvious on the surface but the show was great and glad I got to see them one more time. Probably will be saying that about a few groups from fhat era. Actually, that started years ago when I was supposed to see Zeppelin when they cancel the tour because a member died... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
