So thanks to this little bit of heightened Rick Springfield awareness, I noticed his new album, Venus In Overdrive, on iTunes on Tuesday. And I'll be goddamned but I really like that "What's Victoria's Secret?" song! It has a very "Jessie's Girl" sound and accomplishes the nearly impossibly by being both current AND retro simultaneously. I'm not sure I need to have the whole album, but dang. Additionally, PopDose did a great interview with him this week that's worth a read.I guess I take back all the snarky things I said about Rick Springfield over the last week or so. Except for the claim to 25 years of hits. I wasn't born yesterday.

I'm glad that before you wrote this that you checked out Rick's new CD . I'm even happier to hear that you liked "What's Victoria's Secret " My only wish for you is that you give him another chance and you go and see him perform at the fair.If you do, please come back and write about that experience because, I'm sure you will be surprised at what an amazing performer that he is at the young age of almost 59.plaese come back and tell us what you think .you may even here some songs that you like that you didn't even know exsisted .Due to Radios lack of interest in anything that is not recorded by someone under the legal age. Go and enjoy!!!
I audibly scoffed too when I read the "25 years of hits"! More like 25 yrs in the biz. Don't get me wrong, I really like his older stuff, but I'd 100% agree with you on the scepticality of that promotional line! I haven't heard the new single yet but am interested in checking it out.
Hey, maybe they'll have him set up at one of those booths where you throw darts at his head and win a stuffed monkey!
