This wasn’t my idea. Sure I like Jessie’s Girl and Human Touch… but seeing aging rockers isn’t usually my bag. What did surprise me though was how excited EVERYONE was to see him. I guess he’s got quite the dedicated following… Don’t believe me?

"At 64 years of age, Springfield still delivers a high-energy performance that makes it hard to believe that he’s really sixty-four years into this life.
