I <3 Rick Springfield
So Hard to Hold was on tonight. That old Rick Springfield movie from the 80's. It's pretty painfully cheesy to watch now but I had every 80's album of his including that soundtrack which I played until the tape wore out. Some of those songs are still pretty good too! I thought about getting the CD again but it's out of print and like $54 bucks on ebay (for the CD not the cassette!). I actually think I may still have some cassettes stored away somewhere but I can't imagine that still being good/playable after all these years. I should dig them up and see what I have. I probably got rid of most of them.
Anyways I remember seeing Rick Springfield in People magazine not long ago and he looks really friggin' good for his age. Like 'amazing', 'i'd totally go out with him even though he's old'. Not that he wasn't already like SUPER HOT in the 80's. He's SUPER HOT in that movie too if you're into Rick Springfield. He still tours actually and he's back on General Hospital too. He's 57. That's almost as old as my Dad. Crazy. He was basically my age when he did that Hard to Hold. I was 13. I remember being a kid thinking that I'd never be able to talk in blocks of ten year periods like, "yeah ten years ago etc". Now I can in blocks of 20. :(
I found this quote by him actually while looking up stuff tonight:
“Maybe I should write a book about it, the way everybody focuses on it!” Springfield says of his appearance. “I've always eaten well and exercised and I love what I'm doing and that helps. I've gone through phases where I've been miserable and looked like crap and I'm a big believer that what's inside shows on the outside.”
Anyways check out Rick Springfield's website and photos and see for yourself.
Or you can watch this cool "Where are they now?" clip I found on You Tube.
If you're really bored check out this Concert Cliff Notes site. It's pretty entertaining and wow the detail. Rabid fans!
Actually now that I'm talking about cheesey 80's movie I remember my Aunt Brenda taking me to see American Anthem and getting the soundtrack for me. That movie had Mitch Gaylord the gymnast in it. It was super cool at the time but watching it now is just painful. I loved the 80's though!
