By Vanessa FrankoHere's a riddle for you:
What's better than listening to Rick Springfield's "Jessie's Girl" lounging by the pool?
Listening to Rick Springfield play a reggae version of "Jessie's Girl" on a cruise with him, rocker John Waite, and soap stars Jackie Zeman, Kimberly McCullough and Doug Davidson.
That's right--you can be on a cruise with Rick Springfield.
It leaves from Miami on Nov. 13 and runs through Nov. 17. There will be Rick Springfield concerts, Q&As, karaoke, trivia and oh so much more.
"We're trying to make is something really, really special," Springfield said in a telephone interview Thursday.
He said when other artists play cruises, they parachute in and out. Not Rick, he promimsed to be there for the full thing, but don't expect him on the shuffleboard court. (Is it a court? I don't even know).
"I don't think I'll ever be old enough to play shuffleboard," he laughed.
Seriously, shuffleboard players probably don't listen to Springfield's favorite bands, which include desert rockers Queens of the Stone Age, Tool, System of a Down, Deftones and the Foo Fighters.
I asked him if he happened to catch the video for the Foo Fighters' "Long Road to Ruin," in which Dave Grohl plays a doctor on a soap opera who has a big singing career (hmmn, that sounds like someone else I know, Dr. Noah Drake, a.k.a. RICK SPRINGFIELD--cue the dramatic music).
He said no, but laughed when I told him the premise.

If you don't want to travel thousands of miles to see Dr. Noah Drake rock out, you can also catch him at Morongo Casino Sunday night.
