Yeah I was Jessie's girl when I was in school.
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 YouTube. 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.

Do an interview with Trent Reznor.
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 him!!!!!!❤
Zoot. Eleanor Rigby. Nuff said.
