I was thinking about Eddie Money the other day!

Nice tune, Cute surprise turn on prescience, Mike


Adventure starts where plans end.

The classic rock station here in town had been playing his tunes all this last week and keeping listeners advised as to his condition. I was under the impression that he was getting better. <sigh>

On a related note, I can remember seeing Ronnie Spector in one of my sister's Teen or Tiger Beat? magazines when she (Spector, not my sister) was w/ the Ronettes and falling in love, she was just so cute. Of course, she was probably still in her late teens then, but even at 76, she's still not a bad looking woman.

That was very fast, it was only a month that he announced he had esophageal cancer. Sorry he is gone

I too, remember Ronnie and the Ronettes. What a great voice, too bad she married dirtbag Phil Spector, but at least she got a music career, not sure if it was worth the tradeoff?

RIP Eddie, he will be missed.

Paradise he has ticket.

Thanks to all for commenting. Yes, he will be missed by those of us who enjoyed his music and lament a life cut short.

jarasan, I liked "Two Tickets to Paradise" but it was one of those tunes the radio stations played to death, just like The Eagles "Hotel California" and so many other hit songs like that. They were good tunes....the first hundred times you heard them, then they just got old.    I call them "Ice Cream Truck" songs; it's one thing to hear "Pop Goes the Weasel" as the truck drives down your street - you hear that once/day, but just think of the poor slob driving that truck! That's how I felt about some of those hit songs.

Mike I enjoy a lot of the songs from the 1980's, and 1990's, they are enjoyable to hear!

Well, I grew up w/ two older sisters, the oldest five yrs. older and I was exposed to a lot of the 60's music they liked . My era was the 70's; CCR, BTO, ELO and the Moody Blues, then AC/DC and some harder tunes in the latter part of that decade and in the 80's. I enjoyed a lot of the music from the '90's, but after that...at least for me...the great tunes were few and far between.

That said, I enjoy nearly all kinds of music and my folks had a varied taste - music from THEIR youth, the Big Band stuff, then the 50's music and Motown starting up. (I still love The Ink Spots and Sam Cook, some others) plus they also liked show tunes. Santa nearly always left records under the tree for we three kids.

My pop also liked The Beatles, but he'd say "Wish I could understand what they were singin'!" and I could relate to that. One of the first things I did after getting my first computer and learning how to search was to look up the lyrics to many of my favorite songs! I really love Elton John's music, but I had to look up a LOT of lyrics to his songs.
