Eddie Money, Rock's Favorite 70's Cocaine Geek, Goes Country!
When it comes to singers, there are simple entertainers...and then, there are stylists. When I say 'stylist', Ray Charles comes to mind. Stevie Wonder too. Aretha Franklin...Pheobe Snow...and of course, EDDIE MONEY (aka Edward Joseph Mahoney). One of the best. I'd say hands down, this guy has influenced more musicians in Seattle than Ann Wilson or Mark Arm. Am I right? C'mon...fess up to it! You love Eddie Money just as much as the rest of us...and he's making another comeback! How could you be so foolish to miss history in the making?
Who could forget when he titilated and delighted us on 'The Midnight Special' singing "Baby Hold On"? Watch this video. See and feel the tender emotion and raw energy just oozing out of this guy...
"Video no longer available", huh? Obviously, Burt Sugarman is a friggin' prick!!
Anyways, how about that MTV video from 1983 with the wild chick in the Cadillac...remember "Shakin'"?
What a snazzy guy, huh? He's street tough too. He was even nice enough to include one of his idols, Ronnie Spector, on the recording and video of his 1986 hit song "Take Me Home Tonight".
<Excuse me...I must go throw up!>
Ok, sorry about that. I'm back. Eddie Money also has a really talented daughter, Jesse Money. Daddy and Daughter Mahoney are the newest rock family to step into the MTV reality show spotlight to give Eddie that extra comback career boost he so desperately needs right now ("Rock The Cradle" MTV series/ check your local listings). Check out his daughter in action, covering Janis Joplin's "Turtle Blues". Brittney Spears never rocked out this hard! Daddy Money knows best! She might even be better than her dad.
...And who could forget that groundbreaking Carl's Jr. commercial Eddie did in 1996-
Yes folks, Eddie Money is back! He's currently preparing (or most likely trying to find a label) to release his new country CD "The Other Side Of Money". Listen to this sample clip of his country remake, and duet with Vince Gill, of "Two Tickets To Paradise"...
Now...I ask you, person who's extremely bored enough to get this far down the page...did you think I was serious about the Ann Wilson/Mark Arm thing? If so, I bet you'd believe anything.
Eddie Money is the biggest rock geek in the world...and this, ladies and gentlemen, is part of what makes the world go 'round. All in all, he's rock's court jester for all the forgotten nobodys...a symbol of blatant nerd-machismo to sell to the kind of man or woman who work in factories Monday through Friday, and spend their weekends eating hot dogs and drinking beer and making love to people with moustaches.
Keep on rockin' for us Eddie!
