    Here's an article about Joe helping out families dealing with meth addiction:

    Do we know what this "spiritual experience" was? If I've read about it I've forgotten.

    Didn't know where else to put this. I was on ebay looking for Chris Rea albums and I found this picture in one of the auctions. Check out the caption in the corner of it!

    Just found this - part of a review from The Birmingham Mail c.July 2009

    "Joe is lovably eccentric – when introducing “Life’s Been Good” he said - “If I’d known I was gonna have to play this for the rest of my life I’d have written something else.”
    It made me laugh!!

    Thanks for posting that link, EF. I got quite a few giggles out of reading that interview. I found this question to be really interesting and a very different take on this than Felder's account.

    IMWT: Let's settle it: who wrote the "Hotel California" solo, you or Don Felder?
    JW: I would think that's a joint effort. The lead parts that we trade off, he came up with his, I came up with mine. And the stuff that we played together was worked out together.

    Yeah, cute interview. Joe is his usual hilarious self, but he seems very serious during the HC parts bit. I'm like dreamer, interesting.
