Eddie Money

[Cool-Beans]

...didn't sing "I Love a Rainy Night." That was Eddie Rabbit.

He did sing "Take Me Home Tonight", "Two Tickets to Paradise" (pack your bags, we'll leave tonight, I've got two tickets to Paradise), "Shakin" (that girl was shakin, snappin her fingers), "Baby Hold On" (to me, whatever will be, will be), and "Think I'm In Love" (and my life's lookin up, I think I'm in love 'cause I can't get up.)

He toured in the 80's, opening for Cyndi Lauper (but came out after the Thompson Twins - who weren't twins, but a trio of mixed races). When he played in Cleveland, he stopped halfway through "Two Tickets." Finally the band fizzled out and Eddie said he was sorry, he just was sick of that song and couldn't play it one more time.

He had other songs, I remember there was one I really didn't like.

Is it wrong to correct stuff? Someone PM me and tell me to quit being a pain in the butt if that's what I'm being. I'm just the Queen of 80's Trivia and sort of feel an obligation to jog others' memories, as well as clear up stuff for the younguns who might mistake the Money and the Rabbit.

Saw him at Epcot a couple years ago and he did a great job.

Actually, I caught that immediately and had a new thread cued up and ready to go . . . and then I deleted it because I thought it might be a little snitty. BUT hey, now that you've done it, I'll join in and be a follower.

See, I wasn't trying to be a Snip. Just if I were there, I'd have piped up. So, I'm piping up here.

Sorry. Call me "Snip." I deserve it.

Well...a Rabbit is a Bunny, and that rhymes with Money -- so I guess everything's okay then, right? (Hey, it's the logic my kids use and it always seems to work for them!)

I would never call you a "Snip" . . . at least not to your face. I'm just teasing you. We are alot alike in that when someone says something wrong - especially trivia - I'm great at trivia - I usually have to pipe up and correct them. BUT, lately the DIS has gotten so hyper-sensitive, so I was afraid, very afraid, to speak up.

Have a great day and keep "Shakin" . . .
