Right now, they are a good match.
I totally agree. I think many people were very skeptical about how good a fit Joe would be, but, it has obviously worked out beautifully for all parties involved. I believe each of the four members plays a very unique and specific role in the formula that makes the Eagles the success that they are. This is why I hate to see people undermine or downplay any of the four men's contribution. I love all four of them and have an immense amount of respect for the unique talent and personalities that each of them brings to the band.

And OBTW - I'm glad to hear that at least a couple of Joe's hardcore fans don't think I'm totally full of crap.
