friend in Greene NY gave me "Rides Again" 8-track tape of James Gang to listen to while visiting there in 1969. as songwriter/guitarist with always likeable huge talent, joe's the man. what a career! Rocky Mountain Way, Tend My Garden, Good to me So FAr
Then again, nobody's really average. It just takes a long time for others to see the unique little things beyond the work we do to survive. Hobbies, wishes, dreams, all that's good and fun to play with... but yeah, sometimes I just want to not have to worry about what other people think or want or feel, and just drink a few beers and bowl a few frames. That's what Guy Time really is. Companionship without the competitive BS being anything other than friendly.
I believe that this is an homage to a man's (chromosomal, not species) peace with oneself. Notoriety & selfishness should never be construed as contentment. If the 3 primal instincts are satisfied, who are we to complain?
Now, if we women (species, not chromosomal) could only see the difference.
@bgoodrbcareful Well, some of us ordinary average guys are just looking for the same peace of mind everyone is. When I got older, I realized that maybe there doesn't have to be much TO life, as long as I'm content with me being me and not trying to scramble up some mythical ladder for someone else's judgement. Now, if women could see that the really nice guys aren't likely to be sex-ridden Bad Boys, ordinary average guys like me would be a lot happier.
The McRib sandwich advertisement on this video fits the song perfectly, now fuck Vevo and may all of their market men go back to hell from whence they came
greatt effin song, and im a heavy azz gangstah rappah, but greatt muzik is greatt muzik, ....which is to say " it's suppose to relate to the listeners"
Wow..I heard this song about a year ago when i was in the Big House,But I had No idea it was from 1991...Im trippin out right now..I coulda swore it was a late 70 early 80 number...but thats a compliment bcuz so many 70s artists seemed to have lost their Golden touch when thay came back in the 80s or 90s but this jam kept that magic feel..way to go Joe....
Hah, who came up with the idea of taht doll? Funny. But, well, Joe is quite a funny guy, wouldn't surprise me if it was hes own idea...
And, as everybody already have mentioned: he was great in those years, but hes even greater now when he's sober... and he hasn't lost hes sence of humour, he just remain insain!
(Saw him too, by the way, home in Sweden this summer 2011, real great, wish I could see them all again, the Eagles, I mean.)
extra-ordinary,way above average guitar legend, & avoice that fit perfectly with his tunes,, & i for one think his drug usage may have broadened his musical outlook & ability,,,,in other words,,,heres joe walsh playing guitar,,,& heres joe walsh playing guitar on drugs,,,,,i'll take the latter. Rock On Joe,,,but no more drugs,,,,Okaaaay
in a span of 13 years he went from a maserati that can do 185 to a dodge and from being driven in a limo and owning houses that he has never been to to having to have to do his own yard work and having to clean up dog shit
thumbs up if you want vevo off youtube. The only reason there on here is to make money. Im sick of these annoying advertisements and getting links to lady gaga. Who the fuck would listen to any of that crap.
@swedesruleallothers it's very annoying how Vevo tries to seem "cool." They are advertising, that's all. Why would advertising EVER be cool? They suck and make YouTube worse. Their logo should be Erkel because they're annoying douches.
@swedesruleallothers u guys dont get it do u if its wasnt for VEVO thousands of these videos would not be on youtube since they came partners with youtube they actually help save these videos from getting yank!
These annoying advertisements are keeping this shit free for you and me, as well as keeping it on youtube to begin with, due to copyright issues. You only have to watch five seconds of it. You don't have to click any of the links to Lady Gaga. Of course we all hate it, but all this complaining is fucking useless and frustratingly annoying, and you're wasting your energy. Please live with it, and just enjoy the music.
only we know that the radio stations are commanded to only play rocky mountain and life's been good, they will NEVER release the Smoker you Drink whole tape or they know the fabric of society would come apart.
There is nothing Ordinary or Average about JOE WALSH. From before The James Gang to The Eagles and beyond, he is one of the greatest ever in Rock & Roll in Style, Class, Fun, Ability, Talent and Originality. His concerts were some of the most fun I ever went to see. JOE WALSH FOREVER!!!!!
You know it's a sad day in music when Lady Gaga, "Whip My Hair" and "Glitter on the Floor" has almost 100 million views and this classic doesn't even have 40k.
Joe Walsh is one of my favorites. I'm a guitar player, and wish I could play like him. My wife also tells me that if anything ever happens to me, she wants to date Joe Walsh.
@rpbjr327 My feeling was that this tune (many years later) was intentionally written in the same melody and progression as sort of a statement on how life has ironically changed. Just my 2 cents.
@RJosephReece Joe Walsh was huge long before the Eagles and when the Eagles decided to join Joe Walsh, it was the best career move ever !!! They were just lucky Joe let them keep their name... :)
