I like him

:hi:


lost

[no name no slogan]

1. He's a former NYC cop, and his real last name is Mahoney

go figure.

[Eyerish]

2. Wasn't his kid on some reality program???

[bluesbassman]

3. Put on great shows back in the day. Fell victim to the weasel dust.

Too bad.

[jobycom]

4. He was rated just about right.

Very good, raw passion for a while. Very likable voice. Burned out after a few years. The world of rock was made better by him, but not significantly altered because of him, one way or the other.

I like him.

[Jetboy]

5. He and Loverboy are the Kings of Cheeserock.

And I mean that in a good way. I like him very much.

[Symarip]

6. Holy shit. Look at that hair.

Canada would be jealous.

7. 2 tickets to paradise...

it just sweeps you away

i remember some pretty committed surf punks who loved him, including me

[Iris]

8. great song

[Amerigo Vespucci]

9. He was more of a six-hit wonder.

1. Two Tickets To Paradise: CLASSIC, still love it.

2. Shakin': One of those wanker "hits" that makes people ask "Eddie Money...was he over rated??? underrated???"

:evilgrin:

3. Take Me Home Tonight: STUNT CASTING! As much as I love Ronnie Spector, this is a "novelty song."

4. Baby Hold On: Another CLASSIC, so unbelievably emblematic of its time, still love it.

5. I Wanna Go Back: This is sort of Bruce Springsteen's "Glory Days" channeled through Eric "All By Myself" Carmen. I think I'd rather hear The Boss.

6. Rock And Roll The Place: SO...Eddie Money wants to rock and roll all night, and party ev-er-y day. Big flippin' deal. That and six bucks will get you a triple vente no foam carmel macchiado at your local Starbucks.

:rofl:

10. I was at a free concert of his at the Santa Cruz boardwalk

he gives it every year.

it was pretty good.

while i was there a pelican came up to me and my friends wanted to take a picture but he started walking away before they could, so i said, "hey, come back here!" and he turned around and came back and stood next to me for the picture. :rofl:
