Nice, original questions. Of course, now I'm gonna think of the movie Gypsy whenever I read what Jeff Mosko said about singing out. You remember that part in the movie where the stage mother was always yelling "Sing out, Louise!" lol So now it's "Sing out, Ricky!" hee hee. I like VIO, it's a great sound...and his voice is superb in its natural state :) Very enjoyable interview! Nice, original questions.

The reporter really knows his music. Yo, dude, this was the best, most thorough interview about Rick Springfield, the person and the musician, I've ever read. The reporter really knows his music.

I have listened to Rick Springfield's newest and you were right, I was wrong. I was totally floored. Exploring what Vitcoria's Secret might really be is an astonishingly hilarious and clever take on that brand... and what a SAUCY move to boot! Who knew someone as far into their illustrious career as Rick Springfield was this edgy and subversive.<br><br>If you're half as sassy a mate as RS or even Russel Crowe, I sincerely hope you'll reconsider the gay thing, 'cause I'd really like to take you to the Outback. And I don't mean the scrumptious chain steak establishment, I literally mean out back, like behind it, where hopefully you'll show me your bloomin' onion. DannyH, I implore you to reconsider.

RIck's top hit in Austrailia was Speak to the Sky, which climbed the charts all the way up to #14 in the USA. RIck had a few labums that were great at that time, but was being shopped around as the next David Cassidy, but was writing more like Elton John, about Death adn very serious writing. a serious argument led to a divorse of management, and Rick was not allowed to put another album for several years. When the tie finally broke for good, RIck started writing for WCD, which didn't take off at first, but when Jessie's GIrl was put out, it skyrocketed. BUT, when SHSMY(Success ablum) came out, it sold way more than WCD, and it went all the way to #2 for the year! At that point, Rick already had Beautiful Feelings, Wait for Night, Comic Book Heroes out as Albums as well as WCD and SHSMY. At that point Rick left GH and was on his own as a house hold name and put out Living in OZ, then Hard to Hold, which sold faster than any CD. He was clearly on top of the world. But at the birth of his first son and Tao coming out, he was sort of torn between his career and his family, so he took two years off and became a self described hermit, or house husband. When Josh was born, he put out ROck of LIfe, and started to take off again and had a major accident while 4x4ing, and broke numerous boned in his arm and shoulder and couldn't hang a guitar from it, so he had to cancel his tour(which I had tickets to)Once again, he fell off the face of the earth, but kept writing. Then he formed a band called Sahara Snow, and put the CD out in Europe, and had some succcess. Finally coming back to the US, he put out Karma in attempt to come back, but although teh CD was written as a good CD, the stations were not going to let Rick become a household name again, and didn't play it . But he kept touring, as the fan base never left, so he kept on writing. Shock(SDAA) cd was criticaly acclaimed, and got some airplay, Beautiful You went to #14 on the AC, and put Rick back on the map again as someone who could break out with the right single/CD.<br>This CD, Venus in Overdrive(VIO) is everything every critic has wanted from Rick for a long, long time. It relates to every style of listener, and could have up to 9 hits on it. It is a great CD. You are partly correct Allen.
