Q. Who is your favorite celebrity in recovery?
A. Joe Walsh (I have a Joe Walsh story, that’s pretty cool. One time I was jamming with a bunch of rock stars, including Joe W., and we were doing a blues jam. Everyone got to take turns soloing in the middle 12 bars. After Elliot Easton finished (he’s in the Cars), it was my turn. Elliot turned around and gave me the signal to skip my turn (obviously I’m not a rockstar, but still, it was just a backyard pool party jam, so he was just being a dick). Then, out of nowhere, Joe Walsh stands up and yells at Elliot and says, “Let Cliff play, don’t be an asshole”.
