He’s still such a nice looking man. He’s always reminded me of my dad. When I was 11 or 12 I swore up and down I was gonna marry him. 😂😂😂
Rick knows me I'm his Jessie's Girl in Missouri
No mention of your Aussie band "Zoot" Rick?
They did a great version of Eleanor Rigby.
Beeb Birtles of LRB was also a member of that band.
He presented that version to the band apparently. He didn’t think they’d go for it but they loved it
Zoot. Eleanor Rigby. Nuff said.
Kate rocks
She's getting lit! 😂
was that straight rum? I wonder where and if u can just buy a bottle or u can only get it there and was that in Cali?
Yeah Never give up I tell my son that everyday he is a muscian.
❤❤️❤️🔥🎸🥳🥳
Yeah I was Jessie's girl when I was in school.
The professor of rock already covered this story awhile ago.
I think everyone knows he’s from Australia 🤦🏻♀️
His TRUE (AKA ) OBSESSED fans know….Tomayto/Tomahto…lol
That bubble gum pop song played over and over on A.M. raido was annoying. His baby face has served him well at 74 years old. I didn't watch GH. lol Never bought any of his music.
Love Rick, but why does his voice sound so slurred? Even in the uplifting clip, he sounds odd. I've not kept up with him, but wonder if he had a small stroke? I ask out of genuine concern, not to be cruel, or judgmental. Does anyone know?
One of the WORST interviews EVER! Will she let him talk!!!!!!! 90% of the interview is her talking!
Love Rick but the interviewer is terrible.
She’s acting like a fan girl 😂
I disagree. She asked the questions any of us would ask if we had the chance. She also gave RS the chance to talk and share stories without constant interruptions. She did quite well.
No one cares. Rick is mine. 🤭🥰💋
I love Kate snow. Aunt Rick Springfield is looking good for 74. That facelift worked out well. I assume?
Yeah and so, he's not exactly American. Born in England, raised in Australia. And he's so musical. He can float between accents. That's a definite indicator. Of an extremely musical person. And raised on an American army base.
I found out by accident. I had a, Londoner, accent. When I put on my, phony British accent. I was told by somebody from London. They thought I was from London. They told me I had a Londoner accent.. I said that was probably because I watched too much, Benny Hill and the Monty Python's along with BBC News. We get on PBS. So? I guess that's the Londoner accent? I thought it was very funny. That they thought I was from London. I said oh no. I'm originally from Detroit, Michigan. At the got offended by that. As I was at a party. Talking to a bunch of French guys and French-Canadian guys. And they all thought this was terribly funny. So did I. It's all the Monty Python's fault! I got Spammed! Lots of spam. Spam spam spam! Spam in the morning. Spam in the afternoon. Spam for dinner. Spam!
And it already sounds. Like he had a few of those drinks before Kate got there. He's a little thick in the tongue. But it could just be 74 years of age? And rock 'n' roll burnout.
And who doesn't love Rick Springfield? He was great generic rock 'n' roll. Old-fashioned, top 40 stuff. It was fun. I enjoyed his songs. They were good. He's good. And I love him and the Dave Grohl movie called Sound City. That was a great movie. You can stream for free here on RUclips. It's one of the best, rock 'n' roll documentary films of all time! With a Who's Who of hit makers. Including Paul McCartney. It's worth a watch.
I had an almost identical, control room to the one in the movie. Only, mine was better.

You know nothing of Rick. He’s never had a facelift and he was born in Australia.
