As we head toward another weekend in the Cbus, I hope that “Life’s Been Good” to you this week! Name That Tune traveled back to 1978 with Joe Walsh and “Life’s Been Good.” The song peaked at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and can be found on the movie soundtrack to “FM” as well as Walsh’s album “But Seriously Folks…”
Walsh wrote the song as a satire, reflecting on the antics and excess of the era’s rock stars and gives nod to Keith Moon and others. The line “My Maserati Does 185” was used as the title to an episode of Entourage in 2005.
