Glenn Frey's Accomplishments
On Monday, January 18 of this year, Glenn Frey, the lead guitarist of the rock band Eagles, passed away at the age of 67 due to a heart attack. Glenn Frey was an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actor, and painter. However, you could not know Frey without first knowing the Eagles. Will Hermes, Gersh Kuntzman, and Alex Suskind all express their very different opinions on Glenn Frey as a person as well as their views on the Eagles.
Hermes (2016), an author and journalist for The New York Times and Rolling Stone, maintains the opinion that Frey was an amazing musician/songwriter and that it was through his skills that the Eagles made a name for themselves. In his article, “Glenn Frey: The Voice That Launched a Million Tequila Sunrises,”

    Kurt Jooss’ “The Green Table” and Alvin Ailey’s “The Revelations” are both over half a century old and still remains to this day one of the most timeless masterpieces of dance in history. Their elaborate combinational display of music, dance, and rhythm was able to tell us a story without the use of any words. This collaborative combination was able to create a powerful and insightful perspective on what they were trying to articulate.

Ailey used a very religious, divine, and prayerful mood and point of view throughout the whole dance. While The Green Table aimed at showing people how futile war is and how it affects people and society. Jooss used the satirical and cynical perspective, as well as the method of expressionism.…
