Ok I know we are not fans of his, but I can def see what Stevie saw in him in this:

Joe's a prick! I will never forgive him for calling Stevie a road f**k on Howard Stern:distress:
And generally for his dismissive flippant attitude towards her & appearing to not respect her. I believe if Stevie were asked today, I don't think she would call him out as the great love of her life these days. I'm convinced her attitude towards him has evolved.

She basically denounced her former statement when someone asked her about that during the IYD promo, if I recall correctly. She said it was just a bunch of drama or something of that nature. I can't remember exactly what/where.

Yeah, it would appear that Stevie wised up and finally stopped romanticizing & glorifying her on/off (83' -85') F**ked up (& coked up) relationship with Joe. An era that also had Stevie hooking up with Dave Stewart, and having a relationship with Les Dudek. And those are just the other ones that we know about.;)

I don't know. My sister was playing with her band on 6th Street in Austin back in 1986 and Joe sang with the band....he looked like sh*t. She still has the pic with them all together. OMG... real bad. I will try to post it. :distress:

Hmmmm, still not seeing it. I fall into the group of people who can only rationalize that mess by remembering that Stevie was on drugs.... otherwise ewwwww!

On the other hand, Lindsey is so hot that I could see women still wanting to be with him if he was a serial killer.

The contrast between the two is mind boggling.

I love Stevie, but what the hell was she thinking?

Joe in 1973: hot.

Joe in 1983: going downhill.

Joe in 1986: basket case.

(It should be noted that he's really turned his life around and is doing great today.)

I too am glad Stevie has stopped gushing about him as the love of her life when he has downright stated he felt nothing even close to that for her. I was embarrassed for her whenever she talked about it in an interview because it made her come across as really pathetic, almost delusional, considering how Joe has blown her off in his interviews. Even at his most tactful, he characterizes it as nothing more than a friends-with-benefits situation.

I choose to believe she just made so much of it a few years ago to knock Lindsey down a peg when they were on the outs. "Don't get a big head Lindsey.... Our relationship was nothing next to my grand romance with Joe Walsh."

CRINGE.

Agreed 100%! On looks alone Joe=ewwww, but then his comments just take him into gross territory, for me anyway!

Joe broke it off with Stevie and she was heartbroken because she was in love with him. In similar situations with non famous people, the one who walks away views the ex differently than the one who wanted the relationship to continue. I've had a relationship where I was so totally in love yet from his point of view we were nothing more than good friend's.

Oh, that's happened to me too. That's not the pathetic part.The pathetic part is when you tell people, years later, that your one-sided relationship was the greatest romance of your life. I hope for Stevie's sake that's not really true.

Well i think he's really cute in that 83 picture...you just convinced that he was indeed attractive

One of the most illuminating remarks Stevie ever made about Joe Walsh was when she said that she fell in love with him the way that Lindsey fell in love with her. I always took that to mean that she fell in love with Joe to an extent that was not equal, or that didn't diminish even when her rational mind told her to let go. Add drugs and grief and loneliness, and you have a whole sh*tload of dysfunctionality.

Her later 'love of my life' remarks were probably truthful inasmuch as she remembered him as being someone who stood out from all the others. Someone she felt something for, as opposed to nothing. Even simply that being monogamous for three months (JW has said this was true during the WH tour) was a Big Deal for people like them.

I think her verdict on him now is expressed every time she says how much she likes that song, 'Somebody I Used To Know'.

I have told that to many people. Sad to say but it's true. He was the greatest love of my life.

Next to her other 80s boyfriends like Anderson and Iovine, he looks like a Greek god. It was the drinking that was wearing him down.

I hope that one day you will fall in love with someone more worthy to bear that title, someone who loves you the way you deserve to be loved.
