I love Rick!
Excellent article. Rick Springfield ROCKS!
Very cool.
This sounds like fun. Would love to go on a cruise, even without Ricky in his *gasp* red speedo!
Oh, how I used to love Rick Springfield back in the 80s -- thanks for bringing back the memories!
My sister used to like him when he was on General Hospital, so, therefore, I used to hack on this "Purty-boy" bigtime! Then, in 2000, I saw him live at the Tennessee Valley Fair, and BOY did my attitude change; bigtime! Rick put on an incredible show, with every bit of the talent and musicianship one would expect from a world class rocker like Ozzy! And unlike his Ozz-ness, Mr. Springfield has aged extremely well. My boss loves him, too, and said last year's show here in TN was incredible. My hat's off to ya, mate! I am not ashamed to admit you have proven this smart-ass adolescent wrong!
Yikes! A red Speedo? Now that's interesting!
Thanks for this great information.
