“The Stairway to Heaven” of iconic musicians continued as Glenn Frey of the Eagles passed on at age 67.
Whenever you are on my brother Craig’s boat on Lake Norman on a warm sunny summer day, he will ask you the same thing as you settle in for a fun day on the boat. “Eagles or Stones?”, he says as he hands you a beer & then starts to the front of the boat to start the music for the afternoon. The answer for me was always the same. “Eagles”
Glenn Frey & Don Henley’s soulful story telling songs wove stories of heart, pain, hope & play in a truly American tone & harmony that few, if any could match. And none were able to do it for 40 years. None but the Eagles.
Glen Frey & Don Henley were the song writing dynamic duo that created so much great music over the decades.
Movies & TV were also part of Glen Frey’s journey. He was a regular on the very popular “Miami Vice” TV show & played a solid role in the classic “Jerry McGuire” movie with Tom Cruise & Cuba Goodings, Jr.
We also recently lost musicians David Bowie, Natalie Cole, Joe Cocker and an actor I really enjoyed, Alan Rickman.
This just reminds us publicly of the fragility of life. That we all hang to life by a thin thread & we never know when that thread will break.
We need to squeeze tight our love ones. Tell them that we love them, are so thankful for them & forgive them. We need to ask forgiveness from them.
We also need to take care of the business side of life. Make sure that our Healthcare Directives are up to date so that those we choose can help us if needed. We need to make sure that our Estate Plan is current & up to date so that those we love & care about receive what we own. We want to make sure that the people we trust have the legal authority to help us when we get sick & have legal authority to carry out our intentions when we are gone.
