anyhow I forgot what a beautiful album this is

"Funk #49" is a great track! Probably not the first to point this out, but part of it sounds like part of "Footloose". When did artists have to songwriters have to start crediting for taking elements of songs? Seemed like it happened for years without credit being given. Joe Walsh definately could have used that F(unk) You money.

I am not hearing any similarities to footloose.

Really? The guitar riff in the beginning of "Funk #49" is a whole lot like the guitar in the chorus of "Footloose". I saw a few posts about it on the internet but no official argument or citation of it, so maybe a few of us are just crazy.
