Even though he has made serious songs that are masterpieces, he has many funny songs as well.
He gives funny interviews, has funny album titles, and used 2 announce himself by saying
I'm Joe Walsh, and I'm running for president.
Here are some of his album titles
So What
You Can't Argue with a Sick Mind
But Seriously Folks
There Goes the Neighborhood
You Bought It – You Name It
Got Any Gum?
Songs for a Dying Planet
Joe Walsh steps into the batter's box, gets hit by a pitch, refuses to go to first base, then strokes a clean single to left. Joe then grants an interview in the dugout.
These are some of my favorites with extracts of their humor (mind you, often more funny in the setting of the song than when written down):
Lyle Lovett - The preacher asked her, and she said I do. The preacher asked me, and she said yes he does too. And the preacher said, I know pronounce you 99 to life. Son she's no lady, she's your wife. - from She's No Lady
Kris Kristofferson - That kindly jailor grinned at me, all eaten up with sympathy. He poured himself another beer and came and whispered in my ear, if booze was just a dime a bottle boy you couldn't even buy the smell. - from Best of All Possible Worlds
David Allan Coe - Well I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison. And I went to pick her up in the rain. But before I could get to the station in my pick-em-up truck, she got runned over by a damned old train. - from You Never Even Called Me by My Name
Tompall Glaser - Now don't I let you wash the car on Sunday. Don't I warn you when you're gettin' fat. Ain't I gonna take you fishin' with me some day. Well a man can't love a woman more than that. - from Put Another Log on the Fire
Johnny Cash - ...you might say I went right up to the factory. And picked it up, it's cheaper that way. Ugh! What model is it? Well...it's a 49,50, 51, 52, 53, 54..... - from One Piece at a Time
Kinky Friedman - You're the prettiest thing in Dallat, is Dallat your home? No I come all the way from Houton and I feel so all alone. I used to live in Autin then I come up to big D. In hopes to get my big break on national TV.....Honey....I think I have what it takes to make you a star... - from Waitret, Please Waitret
Probably not everyone's sense of humor, but...oh well...

Artists that make me smile because of whit:
Paul Simon
Bob Dylan
Billie Holiday
Sometimes my defense mechanism is laughter... so when people loose control of themselves in anger or what have you...
So for some reason some really hard hardcore music makes me laugh cause they are trying to be so "angry" or whatever, but somehow make me laugh.
The Books:
"Realise for a moment that the average human being only uses about 5% of their brain; the other 95% is available for food."
"You may just possibly detect from my voice that I am Irish, and now I leap forward in time."
Also Frank Zappa, Mr Bungle and Sleepytime Gorilla Museum.
