'God, sex and death': Rick Springfield discusses the tenets of his music

my 80s tour

Even 50 years into his career, Rick Springfield dreams in music.

The title track of his first new studio album since 2018, “Automatic,” seeped into his brain at 3 a.m., prompting Springfield to get up and write down the notes he heard in his head.

“There was no plan,” he says of not only the stomping rocker but also the ambitious 20-song album. “There was no deadline. No one is waiting for the next album from me. I just got to do what I love, which is why I got into music in the first place.”

The seemingly ageless Springfield – he turns 74 on Aug. 23, and aside from some artful gray hair streaks, looks remarkably unchanged – recorded the new songs as soon as he birthed them, joking that his “binge writing” led to a double-digit tracklist.

While “Jessie’s Girl” still follows him on every talk show appearance, Springfield’s 16 other Top 40 hits through the decades (“Affair of the Heart,” “Don’t Talk to Strangers,” “Love Somebody” and “Human Touch” among them) are staples in his live performances, which he has whittled to about 70 a year.

Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle.

On “Automatic,” Springfield’s thoughtfulness and versatility as a writer glows. He delves into recent personal losses, questions his spirituality and unwraps melodic frivolity with equal dexterity.

The musician/actor/author tells us more about the meaning ingrained in his new music, living with depression and why he appreciates fans making the effort to come to his concerts .

An '80s romp: Culture Club, Howard Jones and Berlin offer a night of fun and hits on summer tour

Question: You wrote "She Walks with the Angels" for your longtime engineer and front-of-house mixer Matty Spindel, who died last fall. What did you want people to know about him in the song?

Springfield: We used to call him the “Little Woman.” He had a very feminine vibe to him, although he was heterosexual and had lots of girlfriends through the years. But the “she” just felt right. I usually wait to write after someone I love dies. It took me three years to write “My Father’s Chair” after my dad died, but maybe I’m getting used to people dying. I knew Matty for 25 years. I spent more time with him than my wife. It was an incredibly hard loss and I still feel it, but we all feel his spirit.

The last song on the album, "We Are Eternal," is an intriguing mix of impending dread and hopefulness.

For anyone who hopes for an afterlife, it’s a mixture of dread and ecstasy. The great phrase is everyone wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die. That song is about Brett Tuggle (who played keyboards in Springfield’s band as well as with Fleetwood Mac and David Lee Roth). Weirdly enough we lost Brett and Matty within six months of each other (Tuggle died in June 2022). I wanted the song to be hopeful. I don’t like writing downer songs when we lose people. Both Matty and Brett were very similar. I don’t know why they take the good ones.

You’ve talked openly about your struggles with depression, and “When God Forgets My Name” is pretty lyrically deep. Is it difficult to be so open?

No. I don’t think about people judging (my songs) when I’m writing; I just think about sharing a feeling. I know myself better than anybody, and in most of the writing there is a kernel of truth somewhere. I don’t restrict myself when I write. There’s always a degree of spit and polish and sweat, and when it comes through, you almost have to get out of the way.

Do you find it harder to write when you’re depressed?

It’s difficult when going through a down period, but it is part of my drive, the darkness. I always need to prove myself to myself. That’s the upside to depression: It forces you to look inside, and that’s gold to a writer.

On a cheerier note, "Come Said the Girl" has a very fun vibe with horns and hand claps.

That one is all about sex, obviously. This album is about my three favorite things – God, sex and death. That’s basically what I’ve written about the last 10 years. I’m still searching for God, interested in sex and curious about death.

I often hear your SiriusXM show ( "Working Class DJ" on the ‘80s on 8 channel ). Do you like doing it, because it’s hard to tell sometimes!

(Laughs.) I love-hate it. I don’t take it seriously at all, which I think shows. I have fun with it. The shows are getting sillier and sillier, and I think people appreciate that I’m not taking myself too seriously. I’m a musician, not a DJ. I don’t even know what I’m talking about sometimes. I wasn’t listening to radio (in the ‘80s) because I was writing and touring.

Anyone who has seen you in concert recently knows that you’ve kept your voice and body in great shape. How do you do it?

I’m conscious of what I eat and I work out every day. I recently got a trainer. If I’m healthy, I’ll enjoy doing what I’m doing. I learned from my dad because he died early (in 1981) and it was diet-related. His heart stopped when he was 51 and they brought him back and he had brain damage and he died 10 years later. That hit me really hard and I started focusing on health. I didn’t realize it was a reaction to him, and it’s a habit now. I hate being sick. I want to stay active, even though I can’t kick as high as I used to.

You’re heading out with The Hooters, Paul Young and Tommy Tutone for the I Want My ‘80s Tour Aug. 4. Since you’re on the road so much, do you ever get to catch any concerts?

Rarely. I was trying to see The Cure but (the timing didn’t work). I saw the (Rolling) Stones on their last tour. Honestly, it’s a pain to go out and see concerts. I don’t know how people do it. Fans will bring an old ticket for me to sign and I’ll see it was 12 bucks and I’ll go, “When did it get up to $60 and $90?” And then you have to park and get a sitter for the kids and have dinner. It’s a big deal. I always thank the audience because they put so much into being there.

Rick Springfield And Company Kickoff I Want My 80s Tour

my 80s tour

The I Want My 80s Summer Tour kicked off at the Youngstown Foundation Amphitheatre Friday evening. The tour headlined by Rick Springfield also featured The Hooters, Paul Young and Tommy Tutone. The tour marked the Hooters first U.S. tour in 30 years. The long line at the merch booth was proof enough at how much a tour like this means to the fans. It was a great venue to kick the tour off on a fantastic summer night. Youngstown certainly did a great job with this venue which opened in 2019, creating a fantastic concert atmosphere.

Tommy Tutone was up first and played a 20 minute set that opened with their top-40 hit “Angel Say No” and concluded with the smash “867-5309/Jenny”. Vocalist/guitarist Tommy Heath warmed the crowd up in fine style. The lone downside was how short of a set the band played for.

Up next was English vocalist Paul Young. Young has had five top-40 hits over the years in the U.S. He used. Rick Springfield’s band as did Tommy Tutone which enabled Young to start his set the second Heath walked off at the conclusion of his set. Young also played an abbreviated 4-song, 20 minute set. The boisterous “I’m Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down” and chart-topper “Every Time You Go Away” were the standout tracks. Ditto on wishing we got a longer set from Young as well.

Then came The Hooters. For the first time in 30 years, Philadelphia’s own, The Hooters have embarked on a full scale U.S. tour. Singer/guitarist Eric Bazilian made mention and wanted to take it all in as he stood centerstage. It was good to finally get to see this band live. I had seen them once prior at Grand Slam 85′, a stadium show in Rochester, NY which was about a month following their historic performance at Live Aid. Time may have passed but these guys still sound great. As the band launched into some of their forgotten gems like “All You Zombies” and “Karla with A K” it was plainly evident that many in the crowd came to see these guys.

While the nostalgia part is all fine and dandy, the band had other ideas and came up with the great idea of releasing a new album Rocking & Swing. “Why Won’t You Call Me Back” was the track played to the crowd. The album has a ska, reggae and rock feel to it tracing back to the band’s early roots.

The band closed out their brief 45-minute set with a cover of Joan Osborne’s “One Of Us” which was written by guitarist Bazilian and also a cover of Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time” which vocalist/keyboardist Rob Hyman co wrote with Lauper. Was there any doubt which song the band would end on? “And We Danced” was clearly the song everyone was waiting for and the band ended with a stellar version.

Seeing the band now as veterans as opposed to the seeing them in 85′ as youths, shows these guys still have a passion and desire to give everyone their all. So many band’s go through the motions. Bazilian and Hyman may have been the primary writers but equally important is drummer David Uosikkinen, who also has been there from the beginning. Rounding out the band were guitarist John Lilley, bassist Fran Smith Jr. and guitarist Tommy Williams. Let’s just hope this is not a one off thing and we see more touring down the road.

Headlining the whole affair was Rick Springfield. Hard to believe by month’s end that he will be 74 years old. He does not look like it or act like. His performance was the calibre of someone have his age. Simply amazing. He tore through an hour set featuring many of his hits.

Springfield appears to be a workaholic as he also released his latest album Automatic which coincidentally came out this same day as the opening night of the tour. Automatic features 20 brand new songs as it appears Springfield doesn’t know when to stop as he put it.

The big highlights of the night were the Sammy Hagar penned “I’ve Done Everything For You”, “Love Is Alright Tonight” and what Springfield concert is complete without the number one smash “Jessie’s Girl”. Springfield has had a marvelous career whether it be in music or acting. It seems everything he touches turns to gold. He shows no signs of slowing down in the near future. Hopefully we get I Want My 80s tour for 2024 as well and make it a yearly kind of thing.

RICK SPRINGFIELD ANNOUNCES ‘I WANT MY ’80s TOUR’

RICK SPRINGFIELD ANNOUNCES 'I WANT MY '80s TOUR'

PRPhotos.com

Rick Springfield 's 26-date "I Want My '80s Tour" will be criss-crossing the country this summer — featuring such special guests at assorted dates as the Hooters , Paul Young , Tommy Tutone , and the Tubes . Springfield starts the trek off on August 4th in Youngstown, Ohio at The Youngstown Foundation and winds things down on September 17th in Fresno, California at Warnors Theatre.

Rick Springfield told us that it's the love, interest, and support from both his female and male fans that keep him honest and progressing musically and emotionally: ["I write what I like and that's why the music always comes from a male perspective because I am, y'know? But some of the image stuff. . . I mean I always resisted all the teen stuff, but they still printed stuff anyway back in the '80s and I had to deal with it. But I always played and wrote what I wanted to — that I thought was good stuff, which is why I still have male fans. And the male fan base is actually growing, because I've always written, I think, with a degree of integrity and not a sell-out vibe at all."] SOUNDCUE (:29 OC: . . . vibe at all)

Rick Springfield   

Over the past four decades, Rick Springfield has worn many hats as an entertainer and performer. The creator of some of the finest power-pop of the ’80s, he’s a GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter, and musician who has sold 25 million albums and scored 17 U.S. Top 40 hits, including “Jessie’s Girl,” “Don’t Talk to Strangers,” “An Affair of the Heart,” “I've Done Everything for You,” “Love Somebody,” and “Human Touch.” He’s an accomplished actor who starred opposite Meryl Streep in the feature film  Ricki and the Flash  and gave a chameleonic performance as the creepy Dr. Irving Pitlor in HBO’s prestige drama  True Detective . He’s also a talented author — both his candid 2010 memoir  Late, Late at Night  (which  Rolling Stone  named one of the 25 greatest rock memoirs of all time) and his 2014 comedic novel  Magnificent Vibration  earned rave reviews and spots on the  New York Times  Best Sellers’ list. He is also the host of the popular weekly radio show “Working Class DJ” broadcast on Sirius/XM’s “80’s On 8” channel. In 2022, Rick released a special CD/DVD package of 40 th  Anniversary edition of his iconic “Working Class Dog” album recorded and filmed in his home in California during the pandemic lock-down of 2021.

Live Concert Review:  I Want My 80s Tour (Rick Springfield/The Hooters/Paul Young/Tommy Tutone) at Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course, August 11, 2023, Grantville, PA

Written and Photographed by Sharon Sipple

I admit my favorite era of music is the 80s!   I have been waiting all summer for this evening.    The Hooters and Rick Springfield were both staples of my playlists and I was fortunate to see both multiple times throughout the years.    Walking into the Penn Heroes Stage at the Hollywood Casino in Grantville PA., there was definitely an air of excitement and anticipation for the evening.    Some fans waiting from early morning until the venue opened around 5:00 to secure their spots up front.    As I watched all the acts that evening, it was evident that everyone of them was having a blast on stage.    What really impressed me was that Tommy Tutone, Paul Young, and The Hooters all went back to the merchandise tent after their set to greet fans and sign autographs.

I Want My ’80s Tour: Rick Springfield, The Hooters, Paul Young, Tommy Tutone: River Edge • Aurora

I Want My ’80s Tour

Thursday, August 31, 2023

Recap (David Gedge) and Photo Gallery by Edward Spinelli

Nostalgia sells, and it was proven at River Edge Aurora on Thursday by a sold-out crowd featuring some of the bigger and more acclaimed acts from the heyday of MTV. Rick Springfield, ’80s pop idol (“Jessie’s Girl”), was the MC and headliner in Aurora, gathering The Hooters, Paul Young, and Tommy Tutone into his special Summer Tour. All acts looked and sounded remarkably good despite nearly 40 years of added mileage to their careers.

IE’s Edward Spinelli captured our ’80s heroes in all their glory.

Travis Kelce Calls Taylor Swift 'My Significant Other' and Auctions Off Eras Tour Tickets at Patrick Mahomes' Gala

Kelce and Swift attended The 15 and Mahomies Foundation Golf Classic gala in Las Vegas on April 27

my 80s tour

Travis Kelce is showing love to his girlfriend Taylor Swift !

The NFL star, 34, called Swift, 34, his “significant other” in a cute moment as the couple attended their friend Patrick Mahomes ’ The 15 and Mahomies Foundation Golf Classic gala in Las Vegas on April 27.

Kelce made the affectionate reference as he got up onstage during an auction at the gala to announce that Swift had agreed to put four tickets for her Eras tour up for auction at the event. 

In a clip from the gala posted on TikTok , auctioneer Harry Santa-Olalla, who appeared to be hosting the auction portion of the evening, joined Kelce onstage. Santa-Olalla also noted in the caption of a video he posted on Instagram Stories of the moment that Kelce had “convinced” Swift to add the four tickets.

Speaking to guests, Kelce said, “I think, um, I was just talking to my significant other,” — referring to Swift, who was seen in footage posted on X (formerly Twitter) sitting beside Patrick and his wife Brittany Mahomes at the gala — “and uh, we might have one other auction item that wasn’t on the docket.”

Kelce then asked, “Has anyone heard of the Eras tour?” as guests in the room cheered loudly in response.

In another video posted on X from the gala, Swift waved what appeared to be a red napkin from her seat as Kelce and Santa began auctioning off her concert tickets. 

Santa-Olalla then said to Kelce, as the camera panned across the room over to where he stood, "Who would actually pay hundreds of thousands just to know Taylor Swift is actually cheering you on as you're winning 4 of her tickets — this is insane! Let's go!"

Kelce laughed in response as he waved what appeared to be a yellow napkin. He then shouted as the auction started, “Let’s go baby!” Swift’s tour tickets sold for an incredible $80,0000 in the end, Santa shared in the caption of an Instagram post about the night.

Earlier in the evening, Kelce and Swift were seen in a video posted on X by an attendee at the gala making their arrival together at the event. The pair held hands as they walked past guests to their table to join the Mahomes. 

The couple were described as “super adorable” and “down to earth” by the attendee in the caption of the clip. 

"NBD. Just T Swift and her man Travis Kelce," they wrote over the video. "And they are super adorable together. So down to earth & kind ... Just super cool badass human beings."

The day before attending the gala on April 26, Kelce and Swift — who released her new album The Tortured Poets Department on April 19 — were spotted on a double date with the Mahomes at Easy's Cocktail Lounge inside the ARIA Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.

Drummer Injures Eye in Freak Accident During Concert: Justin Hauck Explains Painful Incident

Hauck says he's recovering but that the accident will 'forever change my vision.'

By Stephen Andrew - May 8, 2024 03:22 pm EDT

Canadian drummer Justin Hauck recently suffered a freak accident during a concert, it's left him with a painful eye injury. Taking to social media to explain the incident, Hauck revealed some photos of the aftermath and gave some details on his medical care.

"A big thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes on Sunday! A bit of a different one this year," Hauck began, then going on to recount what happened. "As I was playing a show on Saturday night, around 12:45am on the LAST note of the LAST song of the four sets of music, the tip of my drumstick broke clean off and flew into my right eye. After some brief pain, I instantly could not see."

"My eye had a laceration and a ruptured core from my drumstick – which required a CT scan and surgery that I had in Saskatoon," The Bromantics drummer continued. "Feeling thankful I was able to get the care that I needed and I have many loved ones in my life that were there for me the whole time."

"Only time will tell – I may lose little or significant vision in my right eye," Hauck added, "But I am still happy to have had another year on this planet, in my body! Love you all!"

Speaking to CBC News , the Regina native shared that some first responders who were in the audience drove him an hour to a hospital for medical attention. "That was really hard – just holding my eye, I don't know what's going to happen to my eyesight." He added, "It was throbbing and hurting at that point because, I guess, the shock factor wore off."

After having surgery, Hauck says, "Thankfully I can see out of my right eye, but the vision is all weird and wonky." His doctors believe he's "on the right track," but will need more treatment and therapy. "This will forever change my vision in my right eye, most likely," he said.
