Vjo!!!!! Crashed man, too much (NJ) kind bud + Exile On Main St. = ZONKED. LOL
AWESOME TUNES MAN!! I am ashamed to say I do not know much about Uriah Heep but will do some self-educatin' ASAP brutha!!! Sounds awesome.
Joe Walsh - heh, man O man. I was a journalist in the music biz for about fifteen years and one of my first interviews ever was with Joe Walsh way-y-y back in '87. Haha! Man, I was a fucking teenager, HS dropout, in LOVE with sex, drugs and rock and roll (tho I had hardly any of any of that at that age/stage).
Anyway, one hour interview at some midtown hotel. At the end I notice his 'Hard Rock Cafe' jacket. I wanted one of those! So I say, 'Hey Joe, nice jacket."
He smiles, picks it up, says, 'Yeah, they customized it for me", then threw me the jacket!!!! I catch it, shocked, turn it over, it says 'Joe Walsh' on the back, above the Hard Rock Logo. Sweet!!!! I go to throw it back and he shakes his head. "Keep it, you were cool."
Thanks Joe! I walk out, wearing my new jacket (yes it fit, amazingly), get in the elevater and there's a young Jay Leno!
I get in, push the button, I recognized him from The Tonight Show (as a guest, of course) but didn't say anything. Maybe it was his blue shirt with electric pink (skinny) tie that kept me silent. Eww.
"Nice jacket hee hee," says Jay.
"Yeah, thanks," I say.
"But you're not Joe Walsh hee hee," he says.
"Just interviewed him for Rolling Stone. Cool guy."
"Oh really? Hee hee that's nice yeah yeah hee hee...."
FUCK YOU JAY LENO!!
Ahhhh memories. Should tel you my CSN (no 'Y', sadly) interview at The Plaze Hotel in NYC in '91, in honor of the box set. Greatest interview ever. AHHH the memories!
