Joe Walsh's Facebook page has finally been cleansed.

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.

I hope she mops the floor with that POS at the election.

CHICAGO — 2chambers is in the Windy City this week for a mix of business and pleasure and has heard the big news here: Joe Walsh is endorsing Tammy Duckworth.

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 musician’s attorney to send a tongue-in-cheek letter to Walsh's campaign: You’re not allowed to take someone’s song and change the lyrics,” the attorney wrote. “This is not to say you’re not allowed to write silly lyrics, you just have to write them to your own music. Now, I know why you used Joe’s music — it’s undoubtedly because it’s a lot better than any music you or your staff could have written. But that’s 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 he’s supporting Duckworth: “I’m the real Joe Walsh, and I’m proud to back a real American success story — Tammy Duckworth,” he said in a statement released by the campaign. “Tammy’s story, her service to our nation and her continued commitment to working families (like the one I come from!) have convinced me that she’s 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 love "Life's Been Good to Me"



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