THAT FINAL ITEM: JOE WALSH WB6ACU SAYS HE IS THINKING ABOUT
RUNNING FOR CONGRESS
And finally this week, famed rock guitarist Joe Walsh,
WB6ACU, has joked about running for political office since
way back in 1980. That's when he ran a tongue in cheek
campaign for the presidency. Now it appears as if Joe has
decided to take politics more seriously, and according to a
new radio interview, he could run for Congress. Amateur
Radio Newsline's Cheryl Lasek, K9BIK, has the details:
--
In a recent discussion aired over WASH-FM in Washington DC,
famed rock guitarist Joe Walsh, WB6ACU, said, and we quote:
"I think I would run seriously, and I think I would run for
Congress."
Walsh went on to tell WASH that: "The root of the problem
is that Congress is so dysfunctional. We're dead in the
water until Congress gets to work and passes some new
legislation to change things."
Walsh believes he could represent the concerns of real
people better than politicians who live in a different world
to the rest of the country. He said that he thinks that if
you pay attention to Congress and vote for people from where
we're all from, and if we can elect people who are not
politicians that are from where we're from, that he thinks
we can get something done.
Walsh added - and again we quote: "So I might run for
Congress and see if I can stir up the hornets."
Meanwhile, WB6ACU is touring his new solo album "Analog
Man" at intimate venues nationwide. And of coarse you can
always hear his playing the opening theme at the beginning
of each episode of Ham Nation on TWiT.tv.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Cheryl Lasek, K9BIK, in
Zion, Illinois.
