YOU'RE WELCOME, DEARIES

 


This is Rick Springfield.

He is 76 years old.

If you're anywhere near 60 years of age, you're hearing Jessie's Girl in your head right about now, and you're thinking back to Saturday afternoons on the back patio listening to Casey Kasem's America's Top 40 on the radio whilst adding more baby oil and Sun-In to get that "fresh from the beach" look, even though you were 125 miles from anything resembling a body of water larger than a municipal swimming pool.

That photograph, by the way, is from one of his RECENT concert appearances. 

As in last week recent.

Did I mention he's 76 years old?

  1. He was one of my teenage heart throbs! Had magazine photos on the wall. That's amazing...I hope I'm half that young-acting when I'm that age! Thanks for sharing.

  4. Well, I am that age, but this is not the music for me. I am country and I listened to "Countries top 30" on AFN radio here in Germany.
    Long ago.

  5. Let's not forget, he was Dr. Noah Drake on General Hospital. I wish I could jump like that! Happy July, Coni!

  6. One of my first teen crushes! I've been to many of his shows & a book signing. He is an absolute sweetheart and somehow manages to remember fans he's met previously. And he's the only man I'd skip Simon LeBon (Duran Duran) for. LOL

  8. Loved him as Dr Drake on GH and his music. I actually grew up at a beach in Florida so had that year round tan, lol! Now I’m 70 and all could think of when seeing that photo is “knees!” Still love Jessie’s Girl.
