Day two of the Rick Springfield and Friends Cruise

November 14th 2008
Rick Springfield & John Waite unplugged w/George Nastos on guitar



I'm sure I won't get this in the order they played the songs and I will probably miss some details so leave comments!

I think we started with I Ain't Missing you from John who talked about it being about 3 women, someone he was engaged too, someone he married and Nina Blackwood (MTV VJ) was in the video?

Wasted was up next for Rick and he said he would like to talk about it but can't. Its really really not fun to talk about and he needed to leave out about 3 versus. And yes the burning question has finally been answered....A toe ring is just that....a toe ring! Both John and Rick agreed writing songs from a painful place gets good songs.

Someone asked both of them to pick a song that sums up the cruise.....both agreed "It's All Right Now" and that is the song the cruise ended on! Rick also talked about meeting Hank Marvin. How he really gets us because of it. George B also joined us to play guitar during one point in the show so John could sing but I can't remember which song it was during.

Rick played Ordinary Girl, talking about how it is about his wife and also sang Inside Sylvia. Someone handed him the lyrics for Believe in Me and he explained its about a girl named Sally from Australia, who he also used her name for in Human Touch. And he also played State of The Heart. John also played a few songs and I must have forgotten to write them down. He did talk about how he is living in Nashville now and did some work with artists there. They all really seemed to be enjoying themselves and Mark was on hand to keep things moving.
