I'm afraid these losses aren't going to stop coming. Randy Meisner, who was the original bass player for The Eagles from 1971 until he quit in 1978, died today from complications resulting from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease at the age of 77:
"I don't think of myself as a star. I didn't set out to become a star, I set out to become a singer. I would have sung no matter what. The star part is just something that they made up in Hollywood in 1930."--Linda Ronstadt
