Worth the wait in Thackerville

Today ended up being a very long day for Rick Springfield. After a near landing in DFW, the pilot decided it wasn't a good idea, so the plane was diverted to Austin. After several hours on the runway, Rick and the guys got in a limo and were driven to Thackerville. Although the show was scheduled to start at 8:00, it didn't kick off until a little after 10.00. Enter Rick, wearing his glasses, a Winstar t-shirt and his travel khakis. Rick put on a very high energetic show. It was well worth the wait.
