Weekend Wildcard - Take It Easy by the Eagles

"Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy"

In honor of the passing of Glenn Frey, this Weekend's Wildcard is Take it Easy by the Eagles. This is the opening track and lead single off of their 1972 self-titled debut album. It was co-written by Glenn Frey and Jackson Browne. Browne started writing the song in 1971 but had trouble finishing it. Glenn, who was Browne's neighbor at the time, liked the song so much that Browne gave it to him to finish.

There is a statue and mural located in Winslow, Arizona honor the song. It is a statue of a man standing on the corner with a guitar with a sign above his head with the phrase "Standin' on the corner".

RIP and Take it Easy Glenn!
