i'm finally getting to see one of my heroes tonight.... JOE WALSH. front row right here in town at the Fox, about 2 miles from where i live
Oh man. I always thought that was just a tribute to Keith Moon. :lol3:My friend, who went to the concert, first came in contact with Joe back in the James Gang days. He and a buddy (both in the Navy) were on their way to a new duty station and stopped at a hotel for the night. Some guy knocked on their door and told them they were going to be having a party next door, that they would undoubtedly be loud, but the Navy boys were welcome to come join it if they wanted to.
They were both beat and needed the sleep, so they went to bed, but the party kept getting louder and louder. Finally, they banged on the wall. A few moments later, the body of a guitar came through the wall, making a pretty-good sized hole. The guy who had warned them about the party stuck his head through, and asked what he could do for them (politely, amazingly enough!).
They gave up and went over and joined the party. The guy at the door and the hole in the wall was Joe Walsh.
(I live in hotels, I tear out the walls. I have accountants to pay for it all.)
