"My Maserati does 185,"

"I lost my license now I can't drive."

I don't have the whole song stuck in my head, just that verse.

I hate it when I do grunt work. Repetitive work just gives my ADD super brain a chance to fixate and run the same thing through my head over & over!!!

Notice he didn't say he went 185. There may not even be a cause & effect between the 2 statements. He may be just trying to impress the chicks.

And it goes on & on . . .

Somebody shoot me!!

I think he is making the implication he actually did go 185 which is why he lost his license.

"Spent the last year, Rocky Mountain Way........couldn't get much higher"

I have a limo ride in the back

I lock the doors in case I'm attacked

"My Maserati does 185, caught on fire now I can't drive.

Another Joe Walsh classic:

And every Saturday we work in the yard

Pick up the dog do

Hope that it's hard (whaf whaf)

Take out the garbage and clean out the garage

My friend's got a Chrysler

I've got a Dodge

We're just ordinary average guys

Ordinary average guys

You guys are as bad off as I am.

Those songs are pretty easy to get stuck in your head.

Jose Cuervo

You are a friend of mine

I like to drink you with

A little salt and lime

Well I can't drive 55, so there.

"Lucky I'm the same after all I've been through..."

Somewhere out on that horizon

Faraway from the neon sky

I know there must be something better

And I can't stay another night

Life's been good to me so far.

David Letterman: "Do you really have a Maserati Joe?

Joe Walsh: "Used to."

Letterman: "Really? What model?"

Joe Walsh: "I don't know..."

When I was about 19, I used to hang around the El Mocambo, the bar where the Rolling Stones played in Toronto. Once night the owner gets a call. It's Joe Walsh... can he come down and play? So he comes down and plays all night with the house band. They had to lock the doors. That's about all I can remember...

A question I have always wondered about that song. Was there even a Maserati around back then that could do 185?

In reply to 93EXCivic:

No......

Maybe 145 or 155. I guess that didn't sound as good in a song.

The "Does 185" plate is PIMP, though.

Yeah, but I wonder how the plate goes over with the po po when they stop you for speeding?

I bet they laugh. Then again, since most cops these days look like they're about 12, maybe they don't get the reference.

Beat me to it. Was humming that Sunday when I mowed the yard.

Forget that guy from the Dos Equis beer ads....she parties with the Stones and Joe Walsh, she covers the 24 Hours of LeMans, Lesley is the Most Interesting Woman in the World.
