Can you remember your teen heart throb? Maybe it was Shawn Cassidy, The Corey's (you know who I'm talking about), John Stamos, Rob Lowe...or maybe I'm just dating myself. Well, mine was none other than Dr. Noah Drake...aka Rick Springfield. My incredibly generous father took me to my first Rick Springfield concert and sat there with earplugs in the entire time. I still don't understand why he would want to block out the soothing sounds coming from the lips of an angel, but that's OK because there were thousands of screaming teens who agreed with my musical taste. Those screaming teens have grown in to middle aged women who still scream and cry at the sight of the about the man who will be turning 60 next month. And I'm one of them.
Fast forward to the year 2000...my wonderful husband took me to a local "2nd Chance Prom" where Rick Springfield came out on stage & performed despite having a 101 degree temp. Instead of sharing a guitar pick with a doting fan, he shared a cough drop. A cough drop that ended up in the mouth of that fan. I'm pretty sure I would've done the same thing.
Here we are in the year 2009 and I'm about to have one of my dreams come true. A couple of my coworkers somehow managed to contact Rick's management company & someone at his company hooked me up with tickets to his concert at the Biltmore House in Asheville tomorrow night. And while they were at it, they hooked me up with a meet & greet after the concert! I'm still in shock! If I don't run off & become a groupie or die from cardiac arrest, I will be posting the evidence from this dream at some point this weekend. But right now, I need to go and get my nails done & buy some new shoes...and a new outfit...and maybe some new lipstick...and...
Sincerely,

Hi, I was at the concert, too! It was a blast. I hadn't seen him in concert since 1982. How was the post-concert meet & greet?
