Joe Walsh

I probably posted this on here before but Walsh lived in Midtown Memphis for a while during the late 80s when he was recording Got Any Gum at Ardent (sadly p forgettable iirc). He lived in an old 1920s four square about a block from where i lived for most of my time there some 20 years later.

I briefly dated a girl who was super excited to point out the house next door to his old place where she and her mom and sister lived while she was in elementary school. She said that she didn’t really understand who he was but her mom was like ‘oh yeah he’s a big deal, Eagles, etc’. She said he was incredibly cool to her and her sister, bought them Christmas presents and shit, just a really affable dude. She also remembers it being a party house where things would get mildly rowdy on the reg. (not terribly far from Ardent and the Overton Square bar “scene” at the time) One time she walked outside to see a grocery cart from the Seesel’s Grocery around the corner perched on the roof of the portico carport, which, to her 5th grade mind was simply the funniest thing she’d ever seen.

Damn, joe in Memphis, that sounds like a party

When he and Stevie Nicks dated she wrote "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You" for him and the memory of his daughter, she sez.

hey, "The Confessor" is pretty rad

Joe Walsh's 'Star Licks' video is worth searching out on Youtube, especially for guitarists.

It is very entertaining and actually has some good basic information included. Joe seems pretty stoned/hungover during the filming.

Parts of Rivers (of the hidden funk) are darkness Byrdsy like an early 80s Cure record or something.

I filed this album under "classic rock goes new wave" and on second listen, I can hear it.

It has the spring but it's kind of brooding.

The autocracy on my cell phone replaced "soloing" with "spring".

(whether “autocracy” was serendipitous or intentional, great stuff either way)

dug into his early material recently and was really surprised at how many big star boxes it checked off.

This poster is making my head explode. Gotta love Reznor going back to repping Ohio after how many years in L.A.?

That looks awesome.

first time in my life i wish i lived in ohio lol

Wow

For the first time I ever, I need to visit Columbus, OH.

Actually, it looks like they have some good museums I should see too.

Columbus is great! It's crept up really close to the top 10 US cities in population, which means all the good stuff lots of people bring: food, culture, crime ...
