The other day my boss, Tom, mentioned that he had an acquaintance who recently bought an early 2000s Maserati. Tom immediately referenced this song and the lyric.
“My Maserati does one-eighty-five. I lost my license, now I don’t drive.”
Tom then asked about Walsh.
“He was in the Eagles, right?”
“Yep.”
“Is that where he started?”
“No, he was in The James Gang before that. He might have done some solo stuff too before the Eagles.” Turns out he did both, some solo stuff before The Eagles and then again after joining.
We then discussed if he was still playing, and I thought that he was. Jodi and I saw him live as the opener to Tom Petty on what turned out to be Petty’s last tour in 2017.
I also mentioned his ties to Ringo Starr and that Walsh sometimes played in Ringo’s All-Star Band, and that Walsh ran for president on at least one occasion.
I guess life has been pretty good for Walsh, I think as I clean our toilet. While I don’t really mind cleaning the bathroom, I still don’t do nearly as often as I should.
“I can’t complain, but sometimes I still do.”
