A biography for Randy Meisnerhasn’t been written yet.
“A lot of groups go out, and they make big bucks in a couple of years and they're gone. I would like a band that's sustaining.”
“A background person is all I've been all my life.”
“I just wasn't getting anywhere. I was still a backup musician.”
“The line 'Take it to the limit' was to keep trying before you reach a point in your life where you feel you've done everything and seen everything - sort of feeling, you know, part of getting old.”
“When the Eagles started, I was the best-known one in the band. I remember when Poco would play the Troubador, Glenn and Don would be in front of the stage, drooling and wishing they were in the band. But they'd never admit that now.”
“Poco was the forerunners of country rock, but didn't really have the success. By the time the Eagles were out, people were ready for it.”
“I had to take a hard look at myself and my strengths and weaknesses as a singer, songwriter and musician.”
