Thomas Dolby - She Blinded Me With Science

Joe Walsh played this song on his show tonight.

This song got me into Thomas Dolby. I bought this album and played it over and over and over. This, and One of Our Submarines, are my favorite tracks by Thomas Dolby.



My favorite lines:

"Good heavens Miss Sakamoto, you're beautiful!"

and

"There she goes again! She's tidied up, and I can't find anything!"

I've been in both situations.

Turns out the second line is also Joe's favorite line.

Joe Walsh - Turn to Stone

Joe Walsh won't save rock-and-roll, Joe Walsh is rock-and-roll.



All hail Joe Walsh.

James Gang - Walk Away (live)

Thanks to Ed for sending me this. Walk Away is my favorite James Gang song, and my second-favorite Joe Walsh track behind only Life of Illusion.



This is a really excellent version of the song.

Joe Walsh - Life of Illusion

Hands down, my favorite Joe Walsh song of all time.

Given that I pretty much rate Joe Walsh songs on a scale from "great!" to "amazing!" this means a lot.



"And oh, why can't we let it be,
and see through the hole in this wall of confusion?"

Joe Walsh - Life's Been Good (Live)

Joe Walsh recently played Life's Been Good on the Stephen Colbert show:



Not so different from when I first saw him live like 30 years ago. Still so good.

Joe Walsh - The Worry Song

I was worried I was gonna forget to post this.

All-Star Auditions: the Horndogs

A friend of mine forwarded this to me when we were talking about Joe Walsh.



In order:
Slash, Rick Nielsen, Dusty Hill, Matthew Sweet, Joey Ramone, Lisa Loeb, Dave Mustaine, Roy Clark, Johnny Lang, Michael Stanley, and Joe Walsh as "Ed."

I love that no one can keep a straight face when Joey Ramone is auditioning.

And the comments on Joe Walsh.

"His guitar playing's kinda sloppy"
"Yeah, yeah. And he looks kinda slow."

Hey, ten bucks is ten bucks.

Joe Walsh playing tonight

Sadly, I only heard today that this guy is playing a show about 90 minutes from here. It's too far, and I have work late, so I can't get tickets and go see him:

Joe Walsh

But I wish I could. That can can sure play that rock and roll. And it's been a while since I saw him live, and he's still got the licks.


I need to do an "11 Songs" for Joe Walsh. This one might not make it, but it's co-written with Tim Armstrong of Rancid.
