At 33-years-old, Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh made a serious bid to run for President. Promising free gas for everyone, Walsh garnered plenty of attention for his campaign. He also claimed he would change the country’s National Anthem to the Eagles’ song, “Life’s Been Good.” Surprisingly, Walsh’s run was not made for publicity or laughs.

Sadly, Walsh’s campaign fizzled after he overlooked one major detail. According to the Constitution, any candidate running for President of the United States must be at least 35-years-old. Oops. Undeterred, Walsh ran again in 1992, this time as Vice President, and even recorded a brand new song, “Vote For Me” as his slogan.
