Rocky Mountain Way
I promised some running commentary on The Eagles ... So, I should note how stoking it was to see Joe Walsh's material integrated into the larger body of Eagles songs. This created a fabulous contrast. Joe Walsh is the irreverent stage performer of the band. He makes funny faces and yuks it up much more than the other members. Most of all, his signature songs stamped an extra reminder that this was a Hall of Fame performance. What a show ... unbelievably good concert. At the video, notice the "talk box" as well, at Rocky Mountain Way, which seems so '70s-ish:

ReplyDeleteJoe Walsh
Spent the last year
Barack Obama way
Couldn't take that liar
Clueless bastard
Think it's safe to say
Time that he was fired
And we don't need the donkeys
Cryin' 'cuz the polls are bad, uh-huh
'Cuz the Ronnie Reagan Way
Is better than the way we had
Well he's tellin' us this
And he's tellin' us that
Changes it every day
Say's it doesn't matter
Bases are loaded and Barry's at bat
Playin' it play by play
Time to change the batter
And we don't need the donkeys
Cryin' 'cuz the polls are bad, uh-huh
'Cuz the Ronnie Reagan Way
Is better than the way we had
Hey, hey, hey, hey
