Last year, for his seventieth birthday, I bought John a
t-shirt saying, “Being 20 in the 70’s was much more fun than being 70 in the 20’s.”
He wears it a LOT, and wherever we go, he catches people reading it. Quite
often, they’ll stop to say they agree. He wore it again last week, when we were
out to dinner. A fellow passing by said, “Oh! You’ve got a Joe Walsh t-shirt!”
I looked it up, and he’s right. Joe Walsh, the Eagles guitarist and singer who
wrote “Take It Easy,” "Lyin' Eyes" and “Hotel California” has been credited with the quote my
husband wears. Joe also said, “People ask if I believe in God, and I kind of
have to, because I’m still here. I hadn’t planned to live this long.” And, “You
can work on an album forever, but finishing it is a whole different deal.” I
can totally relate to that.
