Mr. Eddie Money,

Hello. I'm nervous so if my words come out wrong will you please not think I'm a nerd. My name is Eric Boucher and I am a freshman at Thomas Jefferson High School. It's on Happy Canyon Road if you ever want to come by, right by the Valley Highway. I'm Mr. Peterson's aide 3rd period, you can just go to the office, they will find me. My new girlfriend's name is Beth and we are in love now. Thanks to you Mr. Money. My Dad works next to Barry Fey, do you know him?, and he got me tickets to Super Sunday Number 2, the awesome concert last weekend in Boulder. Beth sits next to me in Algebra and loves Kansas, her favorite song is Carry On My Wayward Son and when I called and asked her to go to the concert we were boyfriend-girlfriend. My mom drove us to the concert in her crummy Barracuda, it's such a gay car. We didn't know your songs but when you started playing we looked at each other and were in love. We now love your music. When you sang Baby Hold On you looked right at me and put your fist in the air. That's when I knew you were thinking what I was thinking and that we were best friends. I told Beth you would play music at our wedding and how cool that would be. I haven't asked my Mom yet, but I think she'll think it's cool too. My Mom is pretty cool most of the time. We'll probably get married in 2 and a half years, which isn't too long from now if you think about it. You can sleep in my room.


Love,

Eric Boucher

P.S. My Mom would get mad at me if I wrote my phone number so just go to the office like I said already.

My first concert was Journey and Brian Adams. Brian was being a tough guy and cursing, trying to rock if you can believe that. Guess that was before he became a total ***. I'm sorry, no offense to homosexuals, i mean sensitive wimp.

I remember about that time holding hands with a girl in a park looking into her eyes while we were being eaten alive by mosquitos. Up all night, no sleep. Happy. Sleeping in class and dreaming of her.


Nowdays I'm so jaded i can see the breakup before i even ask a woman out. How does that line go? I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.

Oh and just for the record, Eddie money is OK, but He's no ELO.

A related true life washed up rock star moment:

I was working at Waterstone's Booksellers in OHare Airport, Chicago. My co-worker, a guy from Kentucky and I were hanging out behind the counter in the middle of a smallish store, shooting the ****, and just generally trying to stave off boredom until the end of our shifts. In comes a guy who procedes over to the corner of the store, any of which corners are never too far from the center where we stood. My co-worker, let's call him Jeff, says "Hey, I think that's Eddie Money." And I said, "Hmmm, I don't think I'd know Eddie Money if he came up to me and kicked me in the shins." After this brief conversation we both went back into our space-out modes that were the usual when we were bored and trying to kill time at work before our shifts ended. A few minutes later the guy in the corner comes up and asked for a book by I believe it was a Tim Mahoney. He says, "That's my brother, Tim Mahoney. I'm Eddie Money, the singer," and took a moment to stare us in the face to make sure we recognized him. I tried not to roll my eyes, I promise I did.

You know you're in trouble when your main source of romantic inspiration is a post on 'bikeforums.net' by some dude named Mayonnaise. :p

Who the **** is Eddie Money? You'll have to excuse me, my stint when it came to bad popular music only lasted a very short time. I hit 15 and couldn't stand any more ****ing "Welcome to the Hotel Canifornia..." or "Abra, abra, kadabra. I wanna reach out and grabya".

That's when I discovered 'New Wave' and 'Punk' and 'Hardcore'. I'm guessing Eddie Money wasn't the drummer for The Exploited.

Not to drag up any uncomfortable memories, but...

Take Me Home Tonight
Two Tickets To Paradise

Two of his biggest "hits"

PS: I went your way, too. Seeing the Circle Jerks was my initiation into the secular faith of punk.
