To be old and wise one must first survive being young and stupid. Moon never survived his adolescence.

Walsh clean and sober for at least the last 20 years.

Moon really lost it when he accidently killed his driver, that’s when his behavior became really destructive.

“The most terrifying thing that ever happened to me was that Keith Moon decided he liked me.” - Joe Walsh.

Joe Walsh has an interesting story about John Belushi and a Chicago restaurant.

Be advised, the audio is terrible: YouTube

“scared Alice Cooper straight.”

Maybe more like “scared Alice Cooper back to his beginnings”, as he’s a preacher’s (evangelist’s) kid. Sometimes he’d show up in our little Baptist church on Maui — incognito (sort of).

“Walsh clean and sober for at least the last 20 years.”

I worked for a city in SoCal in the early 2000s with a small performing arts facility. My office looked out on to the lobby, and we’d see him stroll through sometimes because (I’m told) his child would be in concerts and plays there.

He looked like a regular straight-laced dad.

Sad degenerates. Lost people.

So true, and they had musical talent.

My dog bit me on the leg today.
My cat clawed my eyes.
Ma’s been thrown out of the social circle,
And dad has to hide.
I went to church incognito.
When everybody rose, the Reverend Smith,
He recognized me,
And punched me in the nose

Cool. I think he has a daughter who is around college age or older now.

Didn't he date Stevie Nicks in the early 80's?

“I think he has a daughter who is around college age or older now.”

That makes sense, re the timing. He was always very pleasant.

Kirk Cameron was there often, too,, with his brood (many adopted) in tow. Super nice.

Not sure when Joe got his, but I also got mine without the code last year. Tried to learn morse code back in 1972 and again in 2021 without much success. Used HamTestOnline.com to study for the exam.

Thank God we had characters like this in times past. We got to live vicariously through their antics and there was this concept called “fun” Now life is becoming humorless and dour thanks to the Marxist creeps.

I believe he did date Stevie. Glad they didn’t collaborate on music. Ha.
