Glenn Frey died today at age 67. He was a guitarist for the 1970s rock band the Eagles. He wrote several of the band’s hits but my favorite Eagles song is one he didn’t write. Peaceful Easy Feeling was written by singer-songwriter Jack Tempchin. The Eagles covered it on their debut album and it reached number 22 on the Hot 100. The song is also the tune playing in the Dude’s cab in The Big Lebowski. When he complained that he “hates the fucking Eagles” the cabbie threw him out.
The song of the day is Peaceful Easy Feeling from the 1972 album Eagles by the Eagles (Frey insisted the band’s name was simply Eagles, not “the Eagles”). The “eagle head” in the video is a painted human hand.
