Hey music junkies, Professor of Rock always here to celebrate the greatest artists and the greatest songs of all time. If you love the music of the rock and roll era, you’ll want to explore this channel subscribe below right now to get the stories from the legends. and for even more content check us out on Patreon the link is above too.
it’s time for another edition of our show revelations where featured artists share rare stories behind their greatest songs and albums. Insight you won’t find anywhere else. Today’s interview is with one of my favorites He was raised in Brooklyn New York as Eddie Mahoney and was on his way to following in his father and brother's footsteps to be a policeman for the NYPD but dropped out of the trainee program to chase his dream of becoming a rock star. He changed his name to Eddie Money! He moved to LA and started dating a rich sorority girl, whose parents didn’t approve of his rock and roll ways… He wanted to take her on a special trip to paradise but didn’t have the money so he wrote a song about it… It became the classic Two Tickets To Paradise. I’ll let him tell you how it all worked out, plus a story of how he was able to bring a legend out of retirement to sing on another huge record that would also become an 80s classic. It’s a great story straight from the hilarious jester of rock. I’ve always felt that Eddie Money was like the Thurman Munson of rock.
He killed it for over 40 years on the rock stage and he left it all out on that stage. His swagger and passion were apparent night after night. He passed away a few years back and has been sorely missed.
What follows is me getting the real story of Eddie Money the cop, and the story of his greatest hits Two Tickets to Paradise and Take Me Home Tonight. As I always say on this channel. I feel the songs are magic... They're time capsules that when played, take us back to life's sweetest memories. For me Eddie Money’s music takes me back to driving around my small town of black foot Idaho with my dad and every time I hear Eddie's music, I wanna go back and do it all over. Eddie Money passed away almost one month to the day after my dad, they were about the same age.
When I interviewed him it was pretty special, as I got to relay the memories of his music to Eddie, and how his music created the father and son bond. Actually, Eddie wrote a special note to my dad as I had him autograph the exact copy of the cassette my dad wore out so long ago and passed on to me… I remember a few months ago I was at the store with my boys and his song came on. After about 20 seconds I was bawling. I miss my dad every day… I’m so grateful I have this music to remember him.

Went to see Eddie Money with a group of friends in Florida years ago. We were hungry and ended up at a grocery store about midnight and were stunned to see Eddie behind us in line. In classic fashion, he stuck his hand out and said, “Eddie Money. Rock star.” Classic. Seemed like a super nice, normal guy. Rest in peace.
He was just one of the greatest guys in the music business.
I even clicked the little info link. Gonna get me some ZENNIs while I support the Professor of Rock.
That sounds EXACTLY like something Eddie would've done hahaha.
Sounds like the title of a song... Eddie Money... Rock star.
Was this in 1981 in Lakeland when he opened for Foghat? Great show and ALL great guys in both bands...
I had the opportunity to meet Eddie at a meet and greet in the mid 90’s and told him how his music saved my life. I was experiencing panic attacks and depression from a volatile relationship and just knowing somebody like him existed soothed my soul- it was a recording I had made of some live show in the tropics- it was soo beautiful and inspiring. As I walked away he stood up and yelled “I love you!l 😆💜 he really was as genuine as his music💜
That's awesome just listening to him do this interview makes me feel good he was truly an amazing person. Rip
Eddie Money was a great live act but was such a great humble guy. He he never lost that wild Brooklyn accent.
That's right!
Very personable.
Hope he made it to Heaven.
He was always a delight. What he did for Roni Spektor was incredible
Rest in peace to the late Eddie Money. He had so many great songs, it's overwhelming! Such a cool thing to be shown, an interview with him, it's a time capsule!
Thanks RC32!
@@ProfessorofRock My pleasure!
Miss him dearly.
"I grew up in the 60s. Nobody got laid." A gem. Seemingly a very down to earth guy. RIP
Eddie Money was a musical genius! He spoke so many truths in his songs. I used (parodied sorta) 2 Tickets to ask a girl out. She wasn't a real popular girl but she had my attention in Jr. High school and High School but I never got up the nerve to ask her out. It was a couple years after graduation that I ran into her in the mall and asked her for her number so I could ask her out. I went home and tried to find an unrefusable request for a date. Listening to the radio 2 Tickets To Paradise came on. The Weird All came out all of a sudden and I blurted out "I've got 2 tickets to Cedar Point". That's a very popular and large amusement park in Sandusky Ohio. I had access to tickets locally. So I sat down and started scribbling lyrics. I knew she would laugh, but would it impress her enough to accept? I called her up and started singing (sort of) and when she started giggling I knew it was yes. We set it up for the next Saturday morning to go on our date. It was all day just the 2 of us in a packed amusement park. We had a good day, but evidently not good enough because she let me know when I drove her home and walked her to her door, that there wouldn't be another date. That's okay, Jill. I still remember our "2 Tickets to Cedar Point" when I here Eddie sing his song.
Eddie Money is truly a great guy. A Brooklyn guy who became a California rock star. Love it.
2 Tickets to Paradise is what we get with you every day, Professor. Thanks for this.
That's right! Gotta love it.
Enjoyed this one.
I saw Eddie Money , about 10 or more times opening for other bands. Then he became the headliner and other bands opened for him.
He is truly missed.
He is definitely missed.
A true rockstar.
My uncle's band played this song in the 90's, and one day I sat in on their practice with my keyboard. They loved my keyboard playing, and the fact that I could play all of these 70's songs by ear. They sounded AMAZING in the chorus for "Two Tickets To Paradise." I can still hear it in my mind to this day.
Great memories. A great thank you for sharing it .
I can play a lot of classics on the piano too.
@@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980 The song that was the most fun for me was "Swingtown" by Steve Miller Band. I played those cool keyboard notes, and kept changing sounds like they do in the actual song.
@@BillGraper It’s an otherworldly sounding song.
RIP Eddie. I’m so glad you got to interview Eddie. What a great interview. And the fact he said to you to thank your father for turning you on to his music. It don’t get no better than that. Music is magical.
❤️💜💚
I had a chance to meet the Money Man when he played a theater-sized venue in the small town I lived in. My best friend was stage crew and got me in. He and the band and I ended up hanging out talk7ng like musicians do. The band invited me back to the hotel to party after.
Eddie was one of the nicest, funniest, most genuine musicians I've ever met. He was just a regular shmoe who happened to be an international rock star, but was not any better than anyone else.
He's hilarious Probably the funniest guy I've ever interviewed !
He loved to make people happy and make them laugh…
One of the most underrated vocalists/artists of the late 70’s and early 80’s in my opinion. It wasn’t until that big 1986 hit “Take Me Home Tonight” that people actually heard or knew of his music which is sad.
My favorite is Gimme Some Water
I agree. Good call.
Great vocal on that one!
Not really underrated. Great history. Sad that he fought addiction.
Here in Australia it is Baby Hold On from 78 that is more known
You pull some of the best interviews out of these artists because of your deep respect for the musicians who create these masterpieces. And your love and respect for the man who introduced you to the art . . . your father. Good job, Mr. Reader!
Eddie Money is extremely underrated imo! His Greatest hits is great.
For those in the Metro Detroit area, Eddie Money and Pine Knob went hand in hand. Every year, he was the concert that kicked off the summer concert series. Every year, we would proudly purchase those tickets and attend. Eddie Money was the start of summer, and the start of summer music. I always looked forward to that show, even if i was a little too young for the audience. :)
RIP Moneyman.
He was such a great live performer.
Eddie Money and Heart appeared together at Fort Bragg in an unbilled concert for the troops in the early 80’s. I saw them there. It was magnificent.
I feel fortunate to have grown up in the golden age of rock and roll. Thanks for taking me back there, Professor!
Awesome!
I’ve been to Fort Bragg many times.
Eddie Money was one of kind. He was such an authentic, kind and interesting man. Anytime I get to hear an interview with him I never pass up the opportunity.
So lucky to be an 80’s child!
The music was so amazing!
No kidding!
Like, totally.
My very first Eddie Money song was “Shakin’”. I saw the video on MTV during the summer when I was 15, and became an instant fan. “Two Tickets To Paradise” is my favorite of his songs, but I can’t help loving “Take Me Home Tonight”, too. I actually knew who Ronnie Spector was and thought it was so cool that they did that song together. Thank you for this segment. Eddie was one of the greats, for sure.❤❤
Eddie Money was a good ol' Rock & Roller. Saw him many times in the late '70's & '80's. Went to one of his last concerts in Arizona before he died & he was still rockin'.
He's a rocker that leaves it ALL on the stage!
I only saw him 3 times. I snuck into his "Two Tickets To Paradise" tour when I was 10. I then saw him in 1982 and lastly in 1986 or 87. All great concerts! Gone way too soon!
One of the best rockers ever.
Thanks Adam. Eddie is one of my favorites. Sad he’s gone.
Endless nights is one of my favorites & I wanna go back is my theme song.
Endless Nights is a classic
Very underrated songs.
These interviews are the best and this one with Eddie is simply magical. Adam takes pop music history to another level, proving with every interview that he loves the music as much, if not more, than the musicians themselves. Only someone with Adam's genuine love for the subject would be able to get Eddie's eyes light up like they did when he learned about how his music tangentially led to Chris Pratt and Anna Faris meeting. That's a rare gift. I would love to see a feature at some point on Bill Graham. The impact that one man had on our culture is almost impossible to fully appreciate, but if there is someone who could, it is our humble professor.
You know you’re a legend when you end up marrying Chris Pratt and Anna Faris.
Loved all of Eddie Moneys songs…soundtrack of my childhood! Another awesome synopsis Professor!
Thanks Steven!
Saw him backup Allman Brothers in ‘81!! Put on a great performance!!🤘🔥
Very cool!
He was born a ramblin’ man.
Funny, I got stuck in an elevator with him at the Venetian hotel for two hours. He told me he was a New York Policeman. I said “man you’re a dead ringer for Jon Von Jovi” he laughed and said you don’t know how many times I’ve heard that. Just a down to earth great guy.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing that!
Haha, did he sing in the elevator? He used to sing sing anywhere he went.
Awwww…so sweet.
I got to see Eddie Money at a race track about 10 years ago. It was a free concert and "I think I'm in love" is one of my all time favorites, so why not? His voice was a little rough for the first couple of songs until he warmed up, but just amazing from then on. This was also a great reminder of how many hits he had put out. I could only remember a few walking in, but counted at least 13 by the time it was done. Great time.
Music is a modern day Time Machine.
Two Tickets To Paradise reminds me of my senior prom of 1980. That was the name and the theme of it. I love it when you share stories about your dad.
That's so cool! Thanks for sharing!
My school prom theme last year was jazzy!
Saw him play live in 2001 at pine knob in Michigan. Good show. He really puts it all out there when he gets on stage.
He loves it.
He was a hoot.
Probably one of the most underrated singer/songwriter/musician, he could do it all! I really enjoyed this interview with a down to earth person! I especially like how he deferred or referred to the names you threw out or he brought up in such a positive and loving(reverentail)tone. RIP Eddie, you were one of the greatest!
I saw Eddie Money open for Foghat on 4/5/1978. We didn't know much about him then. That changed over the next few years!
Very cool!
He started making hits.
Classy dude, so glad I got to see him in concert when I was younger. His music sounded as good live as it did on cassette! Real whaler, and awesome singer.Rip Eddie.
I got so moved by this video, watering eyes. What a great guy Eddie was (still is). Thanks Professor, always excellent videos.
I saw Eddie play at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk many years ago. He said, "I wrote this next song 3 rehabs ago." So funny. "I Wanna Go Back" is the greatest story of my life. May God bless you Eddie Money. I grew up playing songs from you. Hope to meet you in the next life.
Lol I love it.
Saw him a couple years before his death. He was a natural with the crowd, had everyone dancing and singing, and played his saxophone too. We lost a legendary performer.
This one really hit the feels button, Adam. Easy to see that you had such a wonderful relationship with your dad. Cherish that forever. Great interview.
Eddie mastered a contemporary rock sound with meaningful nostalgia-based lyrics. Saw him for a New Years Eve concert and he truly delivered... his beautiful wife was there and he introduced her to the crowd in the theater... So personable then and it's awesome to see it shine through in your interview... Thx PoR!
THanks Flavelinator! Love EM.
I saw him in 1985/6 opening for one of our local bands (.38 Special) and he put on a much better show.
He was truly entertaining.
It's very special to me too. Eddie and my dad were best friends in the the early years in the bay area. He was his stage, road manager, and my godfather! I have great memories of being part of the family and seeing his success during the late 70's early 80's. So much fun. Love how much he enjoyed sharing his life stories with you! I'm glad we have his music to bring back these prcious memories. Take care~thanks for sharing yours Adam.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing that. the Good OLD DAYS!
@@ProfessorofRock You are welcome! And boy the stories I heard about Jimi, Janis, and The Who ect...during those Fillmore West days. I was into hard rock in high school so of course I'll never forget their stories and photo albums. Lol I just wanted to add.... I got to meet April Wine back in 1982 when they opened for Eddie. That was, and still is one of my favorites.
Mr. Money was a friend of my childhood friends family. The family owned a popular Irish Pub in Berkeley (McNally’s) and Mr. Money was a regular there. I met him at my friends house when he had come for a BQ at their home in like 81 or 82. I was only in HS at the time. He was a totally regular guy and really friendly. Gave me a dollar bill that he signed which I still have somewhere. We also did yard work at his home in Moraga once. Great memories. RIP Eddie Money
@@cnph7067 Thanks for sharing your awesome memories.
I had the pleasure of actually meet Eddie Money once at a USO concert while I was in the Navy. It was a small audience and you couldn't tell because he rocked it as if it was a full auditorium.
After the concert he stayed to mingle with us sailors and sign autographs. He was amazing. I always thought about he took a lot of time making all of us feel loved and appreciated.
When I say small crowd I'm talking about a dining room at an on base all hands club. Probably around 100+/- audience. He didn't seem bothered and gave a real performance. So humble.
I loved Eddie Money! When "Two tickets to paradise" came on the radio for the first time, my dad and I were driving to Seattle to Tower Records to buy the album! My dad and I just looked at each other, and started jamming out to it! It was a great daddy-daughter outing. I miss Eddie and I miss my dad. But every time I hear Eddie Money on the classic rock station, I smile and remember that day with my dad. Love it! Thanks for showing that interview with the late great Eddie Money!!!!
I wish we had that many record stores where I live. Sadly, there aren’t any…
What a nice guy, he has a touch of Rodney Dangerfield about him. 🙂
For sure!
Love Rodney!
Saw him back in the 80’s. His music never gets old.
What a wonderful interview! Eddie was such a character. He could have made it as a stand-up comic. Two-Tickets To Paradise has such a great vibe to it and Jimmy Lyon’s outstanding solo work really carries the tune. Touching story about the connection to your dad, too. Thanks, Adam!
Thanks Robster! Always appreciate your comments.
I would have loved to see him do a stand up routine.
Oh he was funny. I met him at a record convention. His manager was hanging around making sure he didn't overindulge. He gave the waitresses some very generous tips and definitely was a character!
Yeah, I got a Rodney Dangerfield vibe from him. All he'd need is a red tie.
I think I was in college when I discovered his music, Eddie was a blue collar guy that connected with me on so many levels. Great revisit Adam- it meant a lot to hear him talk again about the his past, our past. We can go back, but in our memories.
That's exactly right!
I agree.
"We can go back, but in our memories" Yeah, but you can't do it all over again...
Think I'm in Love is my favorite of Eddie's. Got to see him in Dallas along with Mitch Ryder and The Fixx, loved the show
Wow that's a cool show. A bit of an odd pairing with the Fixx but really cool!
Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels opened with a ton of energy Eddie also energetic and you're right about odd mix, but The Fixx were the calming influence, and absolutely stole the show.
The Fixx?! Wow.
@@ProfessorofRock That would make a good video or survey question. -- What's the most mismatched live show you've been to?
I love Eddie SO much!!! Thank you for this interview. He and his music touched SO many people's lives! You are missed, Eddie.❤
God I miss Eddie.....his music affected me like few have. I blast his music daily in my car or outside running, I play "two Tickets" whenever I take my spouse on vacation......professor is correct about the music taking you back to a specific place or memory. I really, really miss those days. If heaven simply meant going back there....I would take it in a heartbeat.
Good to hear. He's such a great guy.
Reserve me a seat. 💺
Saw Eddie Money live several times, always a great show. Jimmy Lyon is still one of my all time favorite guitar players, just great. One thing that stuck out in my mind the last time seeing him live was just how many great songs he had. Got to meet him as well after a show and like everyone has sad, just a down to earth nice guy. Great and everlasting memories!!!!
Professor, much respect to you for the way you honor your father. I feel the love you have for him and I know where you are at.
we miss him big. he always opend the season .first concert of summer at pine knob in Michigan .we never missed his show. he was Awesome with great memories and good times linked to him. Thank you eddy we love ya.
That's such a great memory!
I’m glad.
Eddie passed 1 week after my brother, u was actually getting up to go to my brother's funeral when I saw my phone was lit up with messages. People knew how much of a fan I was. He was so friendly and approachable and always delivered a solid concert. I miss him so much.
What an interview! What a guy! Always a huge fan of his. That was a pleasure to watch. Thanks Adam!
Thanks for watching.
I met him twice. Once at LAX, once as he was walking in a restaurant I was walking out of. Really nice guy both times.
Very cool. Down to earth for sure.
@@ProfessorofRock Yes he was. First time I met him his wife was very pregnant and he asked us to help her while he was getting their luggage to his vehicle. They had just landed and we were picking someone up. We spent about an hour helping him and just BS-ing about music (we were all in struggling bands at the time). He told us to just keep playing. The second time he was walking into a restaurant we had just finished doing a sound check on. We had a cover band gig that night. He remembered us, stood there talking to us for a while, then said he'd come back later and listen to us. The place was called Imperial Garden in Hollywood off Sunset. The place was packed that night and tended to attract a lot of famous people of the time, so I have no idea if he came back or not, but he seemed genuinely happy to just get to talk music with regular dudes.
He was very sweet.
Great interview. I saw Eddie 5 or 6 times. 4 times in front of a large crowd. Once in front of a huge crowd.
1 time, and the most memorable, was in front of maybe 35 people at a casino in the middle of nowhere in Oklahoma.
My wife and I looked to be the only people that even knew who he was.
He put in the same fantastic show for us and a few others that he’d put on in front of 5000 people.
At the end of the show he told the “crowd” - “Tell everyone what a good show they missed!”
We bought some Tshirts, Eddie and his daughter - a good singer herself btw - signed them and we talked awhile.
One of my fav entertainers ever - a class act.
When MTV came out in the early 80’s I was in the 3rd grade. I was absolutely infatuated with his Shakin’ video! I would stand at the door every morning waiting to see if the video would come on before the bus would come. That album, No Control, was the very first album that I ever owned, I got it that Christmas. It hangs on my wall to this day. One of my favorite artists of all time. 🙏🏻
Candid conversations are the best interviews, this one is so outstanding. My father, mother , sister, and brother have all passed. I'm so grateful for music that keeps their memories alive, some songs warm my thoughts of the ages. Especially songs they loved. So glad Eddie Money's music has been and always will be part of my life.
Thanks for sharing.
Keeping the music alive!!!
Fantastic. Thank you for this today. It really took me back Adam.
Glad you enjoyed it
I saw Eddie Money at a free concert he did with Night Ranger, Joe Walsh, Tim McGraw and Montel Jordan @ Camp Lejuene North Carolina in 1997 while I was serving in the Marine Corps. He was by far the best of them all. Thank you Professor for this one. Great memories!
My family and I moved from England to Long Island at the end of 1964, and Eddie was one of my first friends in America. I used to work in an advertising mailing company, and sometimes he would pick me up after work. He would be standing outside of his car singing at the top of his lungs ‘Waiting for a factory girl’ You just never knew when he would break into a song!
RIP Eddie Mahoney. Thanks for the great songs. This is a great channel. Whenever I listen to an artist interview, I listen to their music, usually after many years.
Very cool!
Eddie Money was a legend ! Especially his huge career comeback in 1986 -1987
Just like Tina Turner , White Snake, Eric Carmen, The Boss, Boston, Dire Straits and Aerosmith
Helluva comeback for sure!
With Take Me Home Tonight, which had another grand comeback with the late Ronnie Spector.
ZZ Top...
From your interview I can see what a sweet guy Eddie was, and how excited he got when talking about meeting the other rock stars. Now I miss him!
A legend who is sometimes under appreciated in the grand scheme of things. What a voice.
I have a picture of me and Eddie Money together at BB Kings Funeral!
Really? I'd love to see that! Who are you?
Cool!
One of your BEST interviews ever. And I understand why you held onto it for so long. Three great guys. Your dad, you, and Eddie Money.
Thanks for the personal reflection.
I miss my Dad too every day. He was a music fan. He loved Creedence Clearwater Revival. We would listen to music together and he would always appreciate those moments. Almost as much as me.
Eddie Money was the real deal. RIP
My dad LOVED CCR! So cool to have that connection. Thanks for sharing.
Love me some CCR.
Thank You for letting us all GO BACK AGAIN. Yout are the best at what you do. Kasey Kasam would agree. I love hearing the Artists takes behind their music. ROCK ON. You are the ULTIMATE ROCK and ROLL HISTORIAN. Thanks for the memories.
Love the interview. He was such a down-to-earth, genuine man. Great vocalist. Two Tickets to Paradise is an unforgettable song.
This channel is turning out to be just a FANTASTIC channel for me and quickly becoming one of my favorites ... the passion of the host, his incredible knowledge and, I just can't think of anyone else out there doing as much as he is doing to not only get these amazing stores out there, many told for the first time, but to so very importantly preserve this amazing history. Most of all, he did something for me during the middle of this video .... I had a realization .... he made me realize my love for rock and roll that I just kinda lost focus of. Lately, it's been electronica music, metal, rap and indie music ... through this very video, I realized that there is just not a lot of rock / pop rock like what we had in the 80's on the radio theses days. Sure it's out there but, and maybe it's just me, but it's hard to find. I'm 54 and as you get older, you develop this amazing BS filter that scrubs away a lot of the color and drama of life, you get jaded, become indifferent. you get less excited, time flies and you start to forget about your youth .... now, you're youth is still there, but only as it relates to your current health. When you get older, you're a little fatter, a lot slower and you get tired a lot easier, and, you wish all the time that you were 18 all over again. But thankfully, this channel starts to remind you how great youth really is. Eddy Money had all those great songs and yes, he was a part of me being a kid in the 80's. I remember these songs very well and my 80's sound track to my life wouldn't have been the same without him. Funny guy, very old school and this interview was great to be apart of. Thanks to the Professor of Rock and a huge thank you to Eddie Money. RIP.
I feel you!
I saw Eddie Money live at an outdoor street event in Orlando over a decade ago. My boss asked me the next day, "How was it?" I looked at him dumbfounded, "He rocked, of course." What else can you say except that he'e EDDIE MONEY. I love these interviews. So many of these people are my favorites since I was growing up. They're even more favorite now. "They" say not to meet your heroes but "meeting" these heroes have only endeared me more. Such great music, such great memories. Thank you.❤
My favorite Eddie Money song is Shakin and Walk on Water, but I also love Take me Home Tonight and Two Tickets to Paradise,his music was so good and it brings me back to a lot of great times in my life. Thank you Professor of Rock for giving us these moments to reflect on and helping us to remember the good times in our lives. God bless you in all that you do. Keep up the great job.
Adam another special interview with cherished memories. Eddie was genuine, love hearing the stories and his humility. Hug your family, time goes fast.
I imagine you telling your Dad about this interview. That must have been a good conversation.
It' was amazing. We watched it together.
I lived next to a horse racing track in Upstate NY for 34 years. In the late 90's that track hosted Fireworks Over Central NY for a local radio station (TK99). Eddie Money loved playing that gig so much he did it for almost 10 years in a row. Every year I'd sit in my backyard and have a free Eddie Money concert with my family... That's a special memory...
I never thought much about the line, "Listen honey, just like Ronnie sang, 'Be my little baby' and finding out that Ronnie was Ronnie Spector was a really neat nugget. Then finding out that was her singing "Be my little baby," just made my day.
My appreciation for the Professor of Rock - and, of course, for Eddie Money - just increased by - I'll just say, a thousand-fold! This was a FANTASTIC interview! Thank you very much!
What an absolutely awesome interview of an amazing guy, a music legend and incredibly down to earth man!
What a nice guy. Adam does such great interviews and he is so prepared. I think he brings out the best in the artists because of that.
Eddie Money had many great songs. Personal favorites include Walk On Water and I'll Get By.
Great songs!
I have a knack for I Wanna Go Back.
@@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980Great song.
Cool song!! Nice personal memories Prof!
THanks Alberto!
Great interview with Eddie. My favorite of his is "I Wanna Go Back". Yes, his version is the best and you never get tired of listening to it. RIP, Eddie!
I recently went to my 25 year high school reunion. I sat back and thought dang I am getting old. Instantly the song I want to go back came to mind. Brought back some old memories. Good time!
It's definitely a song that transports you
Back in time!
Great interview Professor, a few tears with thoughts of you and your father.
Rest in peace Eddie definitely one of my favorite artist of all time great songs
Such a legend.
He was awesome.
Love your interviews. Your interviews aren’t those prepared tv interviews that we are subjected to so often. You capture the artists in a very comfortable setting, and they have the ability to be themselves, and not what their managers want them to say. I’ve always been that guy who likes the backstory to rock artists. Thanks so much for your channel.
Loved your memories too. Music is woven throughout our lives and can teleport us back so easily. Thank you for sharing! And thank you for the interview, so great to see an amazing artist, hearing his story first hand!
My favorite part about your interview with Eddie Money, now I switch over to music and listen to Eddie's greatest hits! I don't think of him having a huge influence on my growing up years, yet I can sing along with every song.
Wow, Adam, what a great interview. Eddie always seemed to be a genuinely nice, humble guy. Your time with him sure validates that for me.
The music industry needs more gentle souls like his. R.I.P. Edward Mahoney.
Great interview as always. The Professor of Rock’s enthusiasm and passion for his subjects & their lives really shines through!😎👍
Thanks for posting this and interviewing him!
He was one of my favorites!
Fantastic interview ! He was one of my favorites and still is, love all the dedication you put on this awesome chanel.
Eddie Money is so great and I'm so glad he brought up the song I'll Get By because as much as I marked the times of my life growing up with his songs in heavy rotation on the radio it is definitely the song I'll Get By that stands as my favorite. I love the vulnerability that he expresses so beautifully.
Thank you as always Adam.
I LOVE your channel ❤ ✌❤🎸rock and roll
Rock on!
Loved those recordings when they came out!
So wonderful to see this interview as a retrospective memory, and a reminder to live our best life everyday!
Thank You Adam for the video Eddie is often underrated and underappreciated! But I also appreciate the stories of you and your Dad and y'alls relationship and how he brought music into your life . Had me crying too
I LOVE your channel! Thanks so much for all this great rock and roll history. It is so important for people to understand their cultural history, this is a fun way to learn history, and these are great memories. As a teen of the 80's we all just loved these Eddie Money hits. He seems like he was a really nice guy. Rest in peace Eddie!
That was freaking awesome. I love those tunes, and Eddie was a great entertainer. Stellar interview. Great energy there Prof.
Thank you for this! Big fan of Eddie, met him and he was the real deal. Saw him several times and this brings me back. He will always be missed
Easily one of the best channels.
Great backstories, solid production, and easy to listen to in my moment of needing to decompress but wanting to lose myself in history and music. I an grateful and still rolling back to see what I missed from go.
