Thank goodness. All the posts were so negative. Seems hundreds of people were against him, and no one was on his side.
That's been fixed. Now no one is on his side, and no one is against him.
Rest easy.

No, not the Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) that Duckworth is running against, but the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Eagles guitarist. And some might consider his support for the Democrat a bit of payback.
Two years ago when Walsh the lawmaker first ran for Congress, he borrowed a song by the other Walsh called Walk Away and changed the lyrics. The move prompted the musicians attorney to send a tongue-in-cheek letter to Walsh's campaign: Youre not allowed to take someones song and change the lyrics, the attorney wrote. This is not to say youre not allowed to write silly lyrics, you just have to write them to your own music. Now, I know why you used Joes music its undoubtedly because its a lot better than any music you or your staff could have written. But thats the point. Since Joe writes better songs than you do, the Copyright Act rewards him by letting him decide who gets to use the songs he writes.
On Tuesday, Walsh the musician announced that hes supporting Duckworth: Im the real Joe Walsh, and Im proud to back a real American success story Tammy Duckworth, he said in a statement released by the campaign. Tammys story, her service to our nation and her continued commitment to working families (like the one I come from!) have convinced me that shes the right choice for Congress.

I had never seen either before, but I was disappointed that Leon was "only" the opener.

He was in-fucking-credible.

Joe came on (with Rick the Bass Player and a drummer).

Boy, did the promoters know what they were doing with the lineup order. It was almost orgasmic.

Not to mention his usual encore song, I.L.B.T. ("I Like Big {use your imagination}). It was an
1100-seat theatre-in-the-round and perhaps EVERY woman (and a good deal of the men) were
flashing him throughout the entire song.
.
I'm betting the man has seen more breasts than Hugh Hefner and Bob Guccione combined.

Life's been good to him so far, INDEED!!!

I'm hoping in November that other asshole Joe Walsh WON'T be singing this song for sure!
