Last night we went to the OC Fair and saw Rick Springfield in concert. He has been around for a long time and believe it or not, he is incredible in concert. I didn't realize how many of his songs that I had heard. In fact, when I was telling the kids I bought tickets, the only song I could remember was "Jessie's Girl". I remembered him more as
Dr. Noah Drake on General Hospital. He was so...dreamy (heavy sigh). Turns out, Mr. Springfield is from Australia and he was performing with an "American accent" on the show. Who knew? Anyway...
He was incredible in concert...did I say that already??? It was a great night for an outdoor concert: warm and clear. Attending the concert that night where mostly women ranging in ages 35-60. Dragging their husbands (like me) and kids (like me) to see the dreamy (heavy sigh) Rick Springfield. That familiar smell permeated the air. Reefer? you ask, uh, not quite... More like flatulance. Yeah, you heard me. What happens when you get people over 40, who've had a big day eating barbeque together relaxing listening to music? Apparently farting! Who ever was sitting somewhere in my vacinity was sharing silent but deadly flatulance all night! Who could it be? The two older women next to me with the big hair and the too much make up? The totally overweight woman behind me who was squeezed into he tank top and shorts with the butterfly meadow tatooed on her back? The two 40 something guys in front of me? Oh, I digress, back to Rick Springfield.
He worked hard all night, each song better than the next. He played the guitar like the best of them. He worked up quite a sweat, he unbuttoned his shirt, the ladies swooned. He worked the crowd. Everytime anyone gave him a bouquet of roses, he would do big sweeps on the guitar with them and rose petals would fill the air...SO COOL!!! I loved it. Then..
He took his shirt off! Yes ladies, I witnessed Rick Springfield, hot, sweaty, rippling muscles! But do you know what blew my mind? He's 60!!!

Rick Springfield is 60? Wow, he looks great. Some celebrities I see look so old, but then again, I don't look like I'm 30 any longer.
I'm in Heaven! TTFN ~Marydon
60 ROCKS!!!! and so does Rick! Glad you had fun, xoxo~Kathy~ Sweet Up-North Mornings...
Sounds like the perfect night out (except the farting of course, lol). Rick Springfield does look great with his shirt unbuttoned and definitely without it too, happy Monday, Kathy.
OMG!
I am so jealous Janie! I have wanted to see him like forever! I have his cd's and before that his cassettes. He looks so hot and 60, wow, the middle age women must have been a swooning! I would have been right up front! Cindy
