I just saw the former Doobie Bros guitarist on the tube, some "news"magazine programme, declaring his Republican candidacy for some California political office, and making asides about his involvement with national security.

Did I hallucinate this ? Somebody gimme the Straight Dope on that one, please.

Scroll down for story.

(There was another brief reference, in a story of some guitar promo show he played recently. I doubt hallucinations have two or more seperate sources.)
