Sim's Take on Rick Springfield
Okay, I promise that this blog is not going to turn into an everyday discussion on Rick Springfield. However... I have to tell you something funny that's happened since I blogged the other day about my genuine shock that my childhood crush is 58 (turning 59 next month!) and is the exact same age as my dad.
Well. I had hundreds of hits to RecoveringNoah after I blogged about Rick Springfield. I mean, this little blog was hopping. So, I checked my stats and found out that they were all coming from RickSpringfield.com. Apparently, someone found my site and mentioned it on the Rick Springfield Message Board. Isn't that cool! I mean, what if Rick Springfield actually reads my blog post about him. Not that he probably reads all that stuff, but what if he did? Wouldn't that be cool?! And it would be absolutely fine because I only had good an wonderful things to say about him. Well, except that senior citizen remark. But, it was all in jest, Rick honey.
Anyway, I looked on the message board and found a whole thread about my post. It was so wild. If any of you from the Rick Springfield fansite are reading this... "Hi!" Ya'll seem like a bunch of cool and fun people.
Alright, so this is what cracked me up. I was out and about yesterday and called Sim to tell him that all these people from RickSpringfield.com visited my blog and after a few minutes he said,
"Okay, what's that site again?"
I could hear him typing.
"It's RickSpringfield.com."
"No, that's not it. It's pulling up some other guy's site. How do you spell it?"
"SPRING FIELD. F-I-E-L-D." Wow, I never thought about his last name. Spring Field. How pretty.
"Okay, that's what I'm typing. But that's not his site."
"Honey, what else would it be? Of course that's his site."
"No it's not. It's some other guy's site."
"That's impossible. Did you type it right? F-I-E-L-D.com."
"YES. I know how to spell."
"Then that's his site."
"I'm telling you. It's some other guy. There's no way this guy is 58 years old."
HA!!!! I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!!!!
I knew at that exact moment that he WAS looking at the right site. And now he knows why I was so shocked the other day when Rick Springfield was on Oprah.
"Honey, that man that you're looking at right now on the computer... he is my dad's age. He and Dad are the EXACT same age. He is 58 years old. Now do you know why I was so stunned? Why it totally freaked me out? Why I still find it impossible to believe? Is there any way on earth that that man looks 58 years old?"
(Silence). I could practically hear him pondering...
"Wow, he's kind of good looking, isn't he?"
Uhm, ya think??!!
"I hope I look that good when I'm 58."
LOL.
It feels so good to have your point proven. Doesn't it?

The RS fan lot is, for the most part, a big, loyal (occasionally dysfunctional) family. It's freakishly exciting when we see his name crop up and good things said. ;)
See, *my* dad is 61. So it's all good. Baha.
Get the CD, you won't be sorry!! :)
CD is out next week and I will have it palying for the remainder of the year. Haha.
How is Noah? My 7 year oold nephew has autism. Let me say that they are the most amazing children. I love watching him and how his eyes light up when he's thinking about somthing or has just figured something out. He amazes me everyday. I will be coming back to catch up with Noah's blog and I wish you all the best in his recovery.
