    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.

    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💜

    My Dad died two days after my 15th birthday in 1973. Never got to really share a lot of music with him. I would love to sit down with him and talk about so many things, music included. Thanks for sharing this wonderful interview Adam. Eddie made such good music. My wife and I loved all his songs. Lost her in 2021. Now music is a two edged sword. Lots of memories but they can be very bittersweet. R.I.P. Dad, Rhonda and Eddie Money. Wish all of you could “Take me home tonight.”

    Back in 2011~12 my daughter’s elementary school music teacher invited LI area rock legends to appear for their Spring 2012 school concert. Invites went out to Billy Joel, Pat Benatar, Brian Setzer and Eddie Money. Out of all of them, Eddie was the ONLY one to respond and ACCEPT that invitation. (He lived for a time in Levittown btw)
    Keep in mind that this was way before his popular resurgence courtesy of his 2018~19 reality TV show ‘Real Money’ and he graciously took the time to visit the school and perform a rousing rendition of TTTP with the students for the faculty and families.
    I still have video of that evening’s performance as well as pics taken with him and my daughter.
    Truly a stand up guy. Thank You and Rest In Power Eddie..

It was playing on the radio on the way to school one morning and everyone walking in the halls and thru the doors was singing that song. Really cool moment and memory. I wished I could thank him for all the great memories involving his songs. He is truly missed.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I love the stories about your father that you share with us. My best music memory I have with my father was a discussion about a Hollies song in the 1960s, Long Cool Woman (in a black dress). Lead singer Allan Clarke, who was also a cowriter, had a great voice. My Dad, an older guy born in 1916, told me that he didn't understand why anyone with such a good voice would want to sing that kind of stuff. I always remind myself that his idea of a rollicking tune was Mack the Knife! Thanks, Professor!

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.❤❤

    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.

    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.

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.

In the summer of 2007 my son was 15, on a spur of the moment we decided to go downtown to see Eddie Money. This started a regular occurrence and until Eddie passed away, we saw him open the summer concert at Pine Knob. We miss only one or two shows in those years and that was due to in 2015 I was diagnosed with MS. That was the start of my son's love of music. I have even taken my step kids and grandkids to see Eddie. Thank you for your channel, music is sometimes the only thing that heals the mind, body and soul.

He was so awesome, and gracious to the people in the park. The last thing he said as they closed their set was "I dont do this for me; I do it for you! Thank you so much for having me!"

    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!!!!

    Thank you Adam… just listening to Eddie Money talk, with that DEEP Brooklyn accent that will NEVER go away, reminded me of MY dad. And the way you and your dad would play music trivia in the car (just like me and my dad)… you brought a happy year to my eye. We have a local DJ here in the Wash DC area, Don Geronimo, who was also a HUGE FAN of Eddie Money. It was his show that I fist heard She Was Shakin, MY favorite Money song…

    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.

      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

    One of his last shows was here in Maricopa, AZ at the Harrah's AkChin casino. A few friends and I planned to go, but work schedules and such got in the way. We weren't even aware that he was sick, and he passed away about 4 months after that show took place. We were all really disappointed in ourselves for not going to that show, and sad that he was gone. That missed opportunity made us vow to go see every show we could... especially some of the artists that are in the twilight of their careers. You never know when you'll get another chance. Eddie Money was the epitome of cool!

      @@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 took me, back in 1991, to see Eddie in San Diego at a place in Kearney Mesa named "The Rhythm Cafe" for the first time. Eddie also deserves to be in the Hall of Fame of Rock & Roll for sure. Great Video Professor as always. Cheers
