The lyrics Joe Walsh knew never belonged in his song: “They’re kind of dumb”
I wasn't able to produce a reliable summary for this one. The article text you pasted is broken — it only contains the site's navigation menu and title, not the actual story. I then tried fetching the URL directly (blocked with a 403 Forbidden) and searched for the content via several search engines and archive.org, but couldn't locate a cached or archived version with the real article text.
I know this concerns Joe Walsh discussing a lyric from a 1978 song (almost certainly "Life's Been Good," from *But Seriously, Folks…*) that he felt was "kind of dumb" and didn't belong — but I don't have a verified account of which specific line or the full context, so I don't want to guess and risk inventing details or quotes.
Could you paste the full article text? That would let me give you an accurate summary in the requested format.
Explained simply
Joe Walsh is an American musician best known as a guitarist and singer with the Eagles and for his solo work. In 1978, he released “Life’s Been Good”, a humorous song about the excesses and contradictions of rock-star life, on his album But Seriously, Folks…
The song became one of Walsh’s best-known solo recordings. Its lyrics draw on the public image of wealthy musicians and the gap between that image and everyday life; understanding that context helps explain why he might later question whether a particular line suited the song.
