1974. I was cleaning the Government Print Office as an after school job in my final year in high school.
I would go in there after the print people had finished for the day and clean up the floors, toilets and offices. Just me in a big empty, spooky print shop smelling of ink and solvents - but the saving grace was a huge AM valve radio, pumping out the local roack station top 20.
One of the songs I boogied around to: Joe Walsh's Rocky Mountain Way.
Along with Jet by Wings, The Man Who Sold the World by Lulu and Golden Earring's Radar Love.
Joe joined the Eagles and disappeared as a headline act in his own name. He could check out any time he likes, but he can never leave.
