Fame Picture
Rick Springfield is 62 years old and yesterday he spent the day in LA with his spunky 93 year old mom Eileen. I am always a sucker for a man who spend time with his mom and these picture just made me love him a little bit more! Seriously aren’t these photo just the sweetest?
BTW isn’t it cute how she is rocking those red sneakers? They make her look younger than she already looks and I don’t thinks looks anywhere near her actual age. She looks like someone at least 20 years younger than she is!

The same year (1983) that Rick Springfield left General Hospital, Jack Wagner joined and the ABC soap had two of the biggest rockers turned actors in the ’80s star on the show. Now it is 2011 and the two are rocking the ocean together on Rick Springfield & Friends Cruise this weekend. Before they had love sick women getting sea sick they posed for pictures at Miami International Airport. Man I wish I knew about that cruise because I would so love to see Dr Noah Drake and Frisco Jones performing together!!! All I Need is Michael Damian aka Danny Romalotti to be on the boat and I would be sudsy rocker heaven!!!
Back in 1983 Rick Springfield sang “We all need the Human Touch”, and I don’t think in 2011 he meant to get that Human Touch from a TSA Agent. But at least the agent was willing to propose to him before he touched an area I like to think is Hard to Hold!!!
Here is how Rick explained the moment where he was forced to talk to a stranger, “Here is a shot one of my band snapped as I was being frisked at an airport because I ‘opted out’ on the radiation scanning. He is about to check my penis for weapons of mass destruction but I’m not sure I like the kneeling position he is going in to. It looks like I’m about to get more than just a good frisking. Yes I blurred the guys face. How do you get on the ‘trusted travellers’ list? Probably by not posting embarrassing shots of TSA people, huh.” Yeah probably not!
BTW if you are not familiar with his song Human Touch (that is my main ringtone), here is the video below! Amazing how prophetic it was 28 years ago to what is going on today.
Even since the first time (yes, I have seen him more than once) I saw Rick Springfield in concert, my favorite part of the show is when he uses a bouquet of roses to play his guitar. While the General Hospital doctor was playing in New Brunswick, WireImage photographed him thrashing some roses and we got some really cool picks! Seriously aren’t those picture rockin’? It is almost better than watching it happen live and in person.
Rick Springfield was busted on suspicion of driving while intoxicated yesterday according to TMZ. The 61 year old singer/actor was reportedly pulled over for traffic violation when the officer thought they smelled alcohol so they gave him sobriety tests which he failed. The General Hospital star was taken to jail and later released on $5,000 bail.
You can see him tonight on CBS’s Hawaii 5-0, but I doubt he will be watching after last night.
