    Fun Fact: "Life's Been Good" is a humorous look at the spoils of fame and fortune associated with being a rock star. Walsh pokes fun at the lifestyle of wealth and fame, and the spoiled mentality - how it's not him who has changed, but everyone else.
    In a 1981 interview with the BBC, Walsh explained: "I wanted to make a statement involving satire and humor, kind of poking fun at the incredibly silly lifestyle that someone in my position is faced with - in other words, I do have a really nice house, but I'm on the road so much that when I come home from a tour, it's really hard to feel that I even live here. It's not necessarily me, I think it paraphrases anyone in my position, and I think that's why a lot of people related to it, but basically, that's the story of any rock star - I say that humbly - anyone in my position. I thought that was a valid statement, because it is a strange lifestyle - I've been around the world in concerts, and people say 'What was Japan like?', but I don't know. It's got a nice airport, you know... so it was kind of an overall statement."

    Joe Walsh, the mad genius! Killer guitar player, great songwriter, and crazy party animal. This song was all over the radio In1978. Most stations played the shortened single version, it wasn't as powerful as the full version that you played. Thank you for that. This was my theme song that year. I was 16, had already amassed a stupid amount of speeding tickets, and got blitzed regularly at parties.😂 Thank God both Joe and I sobered up.

The lyrics are throw away lines of episodes in a rock star's life and make you smile. It is not a "deep" song but so intricate in its instrumentation that it is like a musical abstract painting - you might not understand the make-up but if you "get it", it just takes you over.

    Jay and Amber, just to give you some clarifying info. Joe was never actually in REO. He did session work on a few tracks on their 1973 album Riding the Storm Out. That was before he joined the Eagles. He never did anything else with them after 1973. He is a very talented guitarist and producer that has done extensive session work for a lot of big names over the last 50 years.

    You've seen Hotel California live, so you've seen Don Felder (or Steuart Smith in newer performances) and Joe Walsh playing together at the end. They have to coordinate their guitars, and in an interview I saw the host ask Joe Walsh if he still needed to practice after all these years. He said, "No, I can play it like sh*t without any practice at all." A good reminder that skills need brushing up from time to time, and Joe Walsh is really funny! Thanks for reacting to a great song, and God bless you!

      @@archstantonainthere4526 I always heard it was a mouth harp. Interesting and you are correct though. It's obvious that was the sound (mouth harp) they were going for, or at the very least it's what it sounds like. On the Ensoniq SQ1+ synth workstation I used to have the "mouth harp" patch with a heavy reverb patched in sounded exactly like the sound used in this song. If you're a musician chasing this sound and you don't have access to an Arp Odyssey, you would be better served knowing the "instrument" you're looking for, as many synths and samplers probably have mouth harp patches. So you're technically and historically correct.

    I just checked Joe's bio: he contributed slide guitar on "Whiskey Night", "Open Up" and "Start A New Life" by REO Speedwagon, on their "Ridin' The Storm Out" album, but he was never a member of REO Speedwagon. He's also appeared on albums by Dan Fogelberg; Michael Stanley Band; John Entwistle (bassist for the Who); Don Henley; Jay Ferguson; Andy Gibb; Wilson Phillips; Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and Steve Winwood. He also supplied the guitar work on Richard Marx's debut single "Don't Mean Nothing" (with two other Eagles supplying background vocals - former Eagle bassist Randy Meisner and current Eagle bassist Timothy B. Schmit).
    Also, we lost two rockers last Thursday - Greg Kihn of the Greg Kihn Band ("The Breakup Song" and "Jeopardy") and Jack Russell, the original lead singer of Great White. Could we get tributes to the two of them?
