The Marc Maron WTF interview of Joe Walsh is a fun ride.

On preview, I saw your post. Which is why I did the "Not a Double?" link. The FAQ says now it is okay to repost if it has been several years? I just saw it for the first time today because it was on Boing Boing today, so I was going with what the spirit of the FAQ said as it is something others may not have seen.
Had I not linked directly to the youtube, i would not even have realized...
on preview: did not even read your description. just that it was the same link. I would say great minds, but that is exaggerating what I am capable of.

It's probably quicker to list famous people Joe Walsh hasn't interacted with over the years than the other way around. He's a rock'n'roll Zelig.

Loved his line, "I had more fun being 20 in the '70s than being 70 in the '20s". (Actually I think that came from the YouTube autoplay next video.
Good to see Joe and so many rockers (RIP Keith Moon, Jerry Garcia, Ronnie Van Zandt, etc) came out ok on the other side. Even Keef Richards who I saw at the Willie concerts a few weeks back sounded ok and looked good (for Keef).

He was playing around Kent State the same time my parents went there. I think the bar was Mother’s Junction at the junction of OH 43 & 59.

clavdivs you left off my favorite part of that quote, "...He was my mentor. And of course I embellished it later with things like chainsaws. You took a chainsaw on the road? Yeah. But I found that you didn’t have to really use it that much. Walking up to the front desk with one usually got a lot accomplished."
A chainsaw!!! Make his own adjoining rooms.
