WHAT DAD HAS BEEN UP TO: Rick Springfield is coming out with a lullaby CD - "My Precious Little One" - this week, comprised of songs he wrote for his own sons, who are now 23 and 20 years old. As for what his offspring think about that, the 80s heartthrob tells us, "They don't really know about it yet. I haven't told them in case they don't like the idea. It's kind of like when they found out I didn't graduate from high school. They don't need to know right away. But I don't think they'll mind."Rick found the songs in the back of a drawer, long forgotten. He says they "took me back to those moments of sleepless nights. It's such a cool thing about music, how it always brings memories back to me " He also remembered the fact he found the kiddie music around their household at the time pretty bland and repetitive, he says. His songs are more parent-and-child oriented, "a little more modern approach, like little pop songs with baby lyrics."Both Springfield sons seem to be taking after Dad, at least to some extent, with the elder being an actor and the younger a musician. "They've got their own lives now," he notes. "It went so fast -- you don't realize how fast it goes."Besides launching the new record, the long-time "General Hospital" hunk has ongoing concert commitments through the year, and says he's also pursuing acting work again. "I'd love to do a series. The way we tour, it's possible to do both," he notes.
