Saw him last July with the Eagles. Funny as hell on stage. Can still play.

best damn concert ever

Hubby said his best guitar hero was Walsh after that concert


LOVE the Eagles

RIP Glenn Frey

saw them in Vegas in Oct '14. I cried as they started to play. My first Eagles concert.
Joe was great as usual.

RIP Glenn Fry (who narrated the 3 hr concert).

That was one of the best shows I've ever seen. The first half was all acoustic, then the second half was all electric. Then they brought Joe Walsh out and he just killed it on "Funk 45" and "Life's Been Good". The highlight of the night for sure!

Just absolutely the BEST concert ever

Always loved this song of yours.

that I shared/smoked the biggest joint I ever saw in my life….courtesy of Mr Walsh. He could have slapped a Cohiba label on it, he rolls THAT good (and that big). Heheheh….back in the day, of course.

Joe has always been a great human being.

He's an ordinary, average guy, except for that whole rock-legend thing.

Devo guys were my Ohio Ghoulardi buddies in LA, too.

I thought the Devo guys were out of Kent State. I watched Ghoulardi, too, though I lived out near Oberlin. My HS girlfriend went to Kent, and I visited the campus a year or so after the shootings.

I spent most of my adult life in NY and LA - It was the BEST of times and the Cleveland/Akron crowd were well-represented. Seriously fun times.

Turn Blue. ; )

here. Cleveland-born and raised, with great memories of Ernie Anderson (scrambling for the fake beard and mustache while wrapping up the local weather forecast, which led into the movie).

Even met Dorothy "Finkheim" once.


Joe Walsh's "My Life is Good" figured prominently at my oldest brother's funeral service. Good on Joe for this lastest news.

influence.

Kid Leo, World Series of Rock, Hinckley Buzzards, Alex Bevan. I saw Neil Young and Crazy Horse at Blossom.

was the best place to see a concert. I saw the Allman Brothers kill it there.

I remember Ron Sweed, aka the Ghoul, though.

I once heard a story about him and Ozzy Osborne touring together in the '70s, but neither of them can recall a thing about it... but there are posters of the tour, so it must happened.

don't tell my daughter.

Seems people are having a sad that they have been affiliated with the GOP.

My favorite album of course is "Rumors" by Fleetwood Mac. Most likely my favorite song is "Sultans of Swing" by Dire Straits although "Deacon Blues" is up there with "Dreams" Stevie Nicks.

He was crazy and on fire back then.

See my post above if you are.

my roots in Cleveland go way, way back and there are a lot of good liberals who live/lived there. I grew up in the NE suburbs and haven't lived there for years, but I sure do remember Ghoulardi!

which should help explain his National Lampoon years.

There is no explanation for Michael O'Donoghue, though. ; )

at the top of one of his short stories.

("You can fool all of the people some of the time...&quot

Not that there was anything particularly subversive about Captain Penny though (other than his suicide, which put a zap on a lot of kids' heads, no doubt).

It premiered on Showtime a couple months ago and I've seen it 3 times already.

When I saw your subject line, I thought you were going to reference the book (which I snapped up as soon as it hit the stores).

Had no idea about the film though. Gave up cable a while ago, but hoping to find it on DVD. Thanks again.

when he was younger.

He is a Republican.

The republicans will take that away.

Ted Nugent for free... I do know, THEY WANT IT ALL... and Joe says HELL no!

There are honorable people. Puts him up there with Springsteen and Pearl Jam.

That didn't sell out.
Keep the faith Brother

It was a Hullabaloo club, or something like it, in the western suburbs of Cleveland. Good show. I remember him talking to the audience a lot.

were also able to get CKLW. Cleveland back then was RADIO HEAVEN.

The great thing about CKLW is they played EVERYTHING.

from Windsor, Canada.

I also spent an hour or so in a bar in Oberlin talking with Wild Child, a former DJ at WMMS. That station was wild, at the beginning.

I saw most of my early rock concerts in Ohio, including Led Zep in their first year of touring. Janis Joplin I saw three times. I got tear gassed with thousands of others at the Akron Rubber Bowl at a Jefferson Airplane concert.

My senior year in HS I saw Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon tour at Blossom. Deep Purple around that same time.

Wow - Janis is one I would have LOVED to see. I did spend some time with Jefferson Starship for a bit (I won't mention who I was dating at the time) but, that was after they brought on Mickey Thomas to sing with Grace Slick who was brought back in to the group after rehab.

and a few of my classmates were David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, and Chris Franz. Chris and David were in a school band called The Artistics.

Aside from that, no music industry connections.

And Bowie, and Calexico, and Iron and Wine….and….and….

Heh. Timeless music.

Thanks for your straight-up approach!

..and by the way, you didn't need to write 'a better song'.

Thank you so much. . .

The player you get

...and given yesterday's Primary, I'd say the appropriate song is:

Some idiot took a big dump on the Eagles here, not long ago. What a dumb-ass.

But I still think the Eagles suck.

just plain blasphemy

one of the best bands around

I'm watching a special on Prince right now - the Eagles aren't worthy to polish Prince's shoes.

just plain hogwash

eagles are my top 5

chicago
eagles
journey
def leppard
doobie brothers

at parties, back in the day.

Gotta say I was kind of aghast at the thought of Joe Walsh joining the Eagles, could not see them meshing - and then, of course, we were gifted with "Life's Been Good".

they thought he was the deadbeat dad/Teabagger of the same name from Illinois.

and he sounds like he's the nicest guy...

America does not need any more of these sleazey, scuzzy, skanky Repubublican "values"

Hope he sues them for false advertising.

He's a cool dude! Glad he spoke up.

Oh, wait a minute...

Fuck the republicans!

You are hooah.

I was going to post another version of the same video, but you beat me to it.

Joe Swash will step into the breach and blame it on a typo.



He's been on I'm a Celebrity... dontchaknow.

A benefit for veterans is exactly right.

Veterans need to understand that Republican jingoism and war mongering vitriol is not "supporting our troops". I hope Hillary and Bernie can add their voices to this message and endorse a true non-partisan benefit in place of this GOP sham event.

Walk Away, Joe. Just Walk Away...

...wait till you get home, lock yourself in the closet and light everything you got, okay?

and Joe Walsh has a lot to do with that.

Always liked his music btw.
