Am I the only one thinking that Glenn Frey is an a**hole after watching the "History of The Eagles"?

Especially that part about the breakup. That dude has a redwood tree (as opposed to a chip) on his shoulder, jeeeeezzz! I can sympathize with Don Felder.

was a perfect gentleman. Unlike Don Henley who always reeked of booze sweat and demanded that they tell him how good he was.
Or George Harrison who never spoke and played a ukulele for the duration of a blow job.
Rock stars...

Documentary that we have watched a couple of times while up at their cabin. Glenn seems like a cut-up to me. Didn't he do that one about hoping he finds your inner child and kick its little ass? I'm the worst at detail like names and histories of bands. I suppose you are right, though.

Those two just didn't get along and the rift seemed to be at least somewhat mutual. Of the two I side with Frey. He was contributing much more to the band despite the 5 way money split (prior to the first breakup). So whatever you can say about Frey, the fact was he was doing a lot more of the creative work and was singing more songs in concert. After the first breakup he was also out touring and singing the bands songs a lot more and promoting the band which created demand for them to get back together. Felder poisoned his own well to a large degree and found himself on the outside looking in. In the end he was a lot more replaceable than Frey and should have known it.
