I love Glenn in pink - my favorite color! I always try to get my husband to wear pink but he flat out refuses.

Watched The Conners last night. Recorded it from on demand.
Good to see Joe on tv. Funny how he described himself in the show. Makes me wonder if it was him coming up with the lines or were they written for him. When he came in with beer in his hand that caught my attention wanted to see how he was going to handle it. I did notice he never put the bottle up to his mouth even when John drank his. He just set it off to the side. Laughed at the jam session at the end. Sounded like they were making it up as they went along. It was funny, wish it was longer. Wonder if he'll be on it again.
Heres an article about Joe on The Conners show

Thanks for that, Scamp. Joe did a great job. I would bet that Joe had some input into the character. Some of the humor is classic Joe and seems like a lot of it was improv. Here it is on YouTube ...

Reading a book right now "Joe Walsh" by Thomas. Picked it up on Amazon. So far it's been good. Doesn't deal with all the parting and Joes personal life but more his music career. He talks a lot about the bands Joe had played in, Joes style of playing and some reviews of Joe. Some chapters don't even mention Joe.
It's not ant authorize Joe book but it is informative Chapters are short more like sections.Right now I'm at Joe and Felder chapter. It's been easy reading, no pictures. Does mention Joe's marriages and kids but more in passing. He mentioned Moon giving Joe speed and when Joe and Marjorie first meet, Joes big hands and long fingers helping his playing style.
Haven't finished it yet but if you want to add to your Joe collection it's good.
Thanks for the heads up, Scamp.
Finished
Joe Walsh book. Going to read it again. Mentioned at Glenn's memorial that a tearful Joe played a song on the piano he wrote for Glenn. Wondering if anyone has heard it?..
Over all I think it was a good book. Lots of info. Somethings most of us know, been in print or quotes from Joe or others. It was well done, about 250 pages no pictures I really liked all the different band info, how they organized, who was in them and when.
I'd recommend it. Nothing Kristen's book This book was more about Joe's career then his personal life.
Joe Walsh is featured in the latest issue of Vintage Guitar (July 2022) magazine, which can be read here.
Thanks for the link, RFF. Very interesting.
Joe to have a residency on Stephen Colbert Show.

Thanks for letting us know about this, FF. I'll have to set my DVD to record this. (FYI - Joe's residency is scheduled for the week beginning August 8th.)
Thanks for the heads up! I love Stephen Colbert.
I remembered reading this on Facebook.
So let me get this straight. So Joe will be playing with the house band every night that week?
That's the way I understand it, shun.
Here's hoping he does some Life's Been Good. Never get tired of hearing that one... It was cool seeing him on the Connors.
WOW - Many thanks for the heads up FF. I love Stephen Colbert too. Just a little trivia....... Stephen Colbert lives in Montclair, NJ and Joe grew up in Montclair, NJ too. Very cool ! I will sure to be watching and looking forward to seeing both. I confess I do not know who the female singer is though.:blush:
I'm set to record two weeks. I like James Taylor and he's the week before Joe. Two of my favorites.

Recorded and watched both James and Joe. I was a little disappointed we didn't get to hear all the playing. The audience had a great show, we got commercials with a little side picture and some music. When they came back from commercial the audience wouldn't stop applauding Joe. Stephen did a quick interview with James but just talked to Joe while he was on the stage. I did like Joe's comment about making more money with the Eagles. They also talked about Vets Aid.
I'd love to see Stephen have Joe as a guest. He could take over the show LOL Joe looked good, Marjorie must be taking care of him. He has said she makes him work out. He looked fit but seemed to be sitting down more than I've seen him before. But I noticed James sat down too.
Over all I would have loved to be in the audience although I'm not really a fan of Stephen but what a free show it must have been.
Luckily, I saw James first one night, and knew what to expect. The Idea to have musical guests sit in with the band was a good one. But why wouldn't you take full advantage of the opportunity to utilize their talent? I thought, "What the heck is this?---You're not going to let the TV audience enjoy their performances?" Like you said, the audience was still clamoring for Joe as the guests came on. And we had to be satisfied with a couple of opening or closing notes. I wonder when they agreed to do it if artists realized that it wouldn't be the exposure (at least I) was expecting?
WHY?:shrug::x
I agree it would have been cool to have Joe on as a guest. I love Colbert. Out of all of the late night TV hosts I like him the most. He's tenacious and he doesn't pull any punches with people I have disdain for, lol. I find him hilarious as all get out. A lot of the other ones just are stuffy or goofy to me. Even if I agree with what they are saying sometimes.
I thought the music was awesome. I think James and Joe working on music together would be cool. They did a song together at one of Eric Clapton's Crossroads Festivals several years ago which was nice. Very different players and artists but that yin and yang can bring a lot of good creativity a lot of the time. On paper as a rocker I shouldn't like James's music but I do as a change of pace. I still hate jazz or classical or Sinatra-type music but the acoustic soft rock is something I can still get in to from time to time.
I think Joe should have his own show personally. If Kelly Clarkson can have a show (which is good!), I think Joe should too. Can you imagine him cutting it up with a comic or an actor or just being his usual comic self? Or telling stories or just playing music. I prefer video format to audio only, so I wouldn't like a radio show as much but a TV show would be cool - even if it was only online through Peacock or something. I think it would be fun and definitely entertaining. I feel like we could all use some Joe humor right about now!
Joe plays Steamroller Blues with James anytime they are on the same venue. He also played with James when they were on the CMHF for the Children with Vince Gill, Kacey Musgrave, and Chris Stapleton. They al played some of their songs and sang or played along with each other. Joe also could be heard singing harmony with James.
I think Joe would be a great guest oh Stevens show. He would be great as the only guest. He's funny but also a walking history of Rock music. He would make a great guest host on shows too
We should all see how we could get Joe star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He's lived in the area since he came to CA, He's done a lot for Rock and Roll. He's involved in many charities besides Vets Aid. He's a good example getting and staying sober.
Plus I think people don't realize how well versed he is. So many just think of him as a wild guitar player. I'd love to see him on a show and playing the piano
Maybe we should start a write in to Stephen or even the Walk of Fame.
