Jebus, I *STILL* wanna be Jesse’s Girl
February 26, 2008Rick Springfield was on Oprah today. I grew up with Rick Springfield. I watched him on General Hospital when I was 6 (and it was summer and my parents were at work and my sister turned it on and I snuck in and watched it, too.) But I guess more importantly, my brother had all of his albums. I was quite close to my brother growing up and I spent more time in his room than in mine and invariably, we’d be listening to music. I learned of Styxx, Kim Karns, Hall and Oats, Metallica, Dire Straights, Jim Croce, and yes, Rick Springfield at my brother’s knee.
I was impressed to watch ol’ Rick talk of his love of his sons. He’s still a cutie patootie. And when he sang the ultimate RS anthem, Jesse’s Girl, I got out of my seat and danced right along. I got tickled that Duck was singing along, word for word. Guess he has heard the song before. 😉
I guess you skipped music appreciation on the days he listened to The Village People and Boston and let’s not forget Juice Newton either. 😉
