On this episode of Lipps Service, Scott sits down with an ‘80s music legend known for his discography filled with classic, catchy hits, his various TV appearances including ‘General Hospital,’ and everyone knows his timeless hit “Jesse’s Girl” … It’s the one and only – Rick Springfield! The two get into Rick’s life in Malibu and growing up in Australia. Rick then details his upbringing, including his early days, his experience battling depression, and his failed suic*** attempt. Later on, Rick discusses his earliest experiences in music, including his first few bands, traveling to Vietnam to perform, his pop-rock group Zoot, and what it was like being a teen idol. They, of course, get into “Jesse’s Girl” and ‘General Hospital,’ and he even reminisces on his life in the ‘80s. To close, Rick shares insight into his latest biggest hits record, the story behind “I’ve Done Everything For You,” and his take on the Foo Fighters. Tune into an exciting and insightful chat with the man – Rick Springfield!
