Went to see Eddie Money with a group of friends in Florida years ago. We were hungry and ended up at a grocery store about midnight and were stunned to see Eddie behind us in line. In classic fashion, he stuck his hand out and said, “Eddie Money. Rock star.” Classic. Seemed like a super nice, normal guy. Rest in peace.

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

He was just one of the greatest guys in the music business.

[@BrentTharp]

I even clicked the little info link. Gonna get me some ZENNIs while I support the Professor of Rock.

[@FloridaManRacer]

That sounds EXACTLY like something Eddie would've done hahaha.

[@The_Evolved67]

Sounds like the title of a song... Eddie Money... Rock star.

[@steveludwig4200]

Was this in 1981 in Lakeland when he opened for Foghat? Great show and ALL great guys in both bands...

[@2Nu]

Back in 2011~12 my daughter’s elementary school music teacher invited LI area rock legends to appear for their Spring 2012 school concert. Invites went out to Billy Joel, Pat Benatar, Brian Setzer and Eddie Money. Out of all of them, Eddie was the ONLY one to respond and ACCEPT that invitation. (He lived for a time in Levittown btw) Keep in mind that this was way before his popular resurgence courtesy of his 2018~19 reality TV show ‘Real Money’ and he graciously took the time to visit the school and perform a rousing rendition of TTTP with the students for the faculty and families. I still have video of that evening’s performance as well as pics taken with him and my daughter. Truly a stand up guy. Thank You and Rest In Power Eddie..

[@RC32Smiths01]

Rest in peace to the late Eddie Money. He had so many great songs, it's overwhelming! Such a cool thing to be shown, an interview with him, it's a time capsule!

[@ProfessorofRock]

Thanks RC32!

[@RC32Smiths01]

@@ProfessorofRock My pleasure!

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

Miss him dearly.

[@caliblue2]

I had the opportunity to meet Eddie at a meet and greet in the mid 90’s and told him how his music saved my life. I was experiencing panic attacks and depression from a volatile relationship and just knowing somebody like him existed soothed my soul- it was a recording I had made of some live show in the tropics- it was soo beautiful and inspiring. As I walked away he stood up and yelled “I love you!l 😆💜 he really was as genuine as his music💜

[@tasiastone3419]

That's awesome just listening to him do this interview makes me feel good he was truly an amazing person. Rip

[@Rixdog01]

"I grew up in the 60s. Nobody got laid." A gem. Seemingly a very down to earth guy. RIP

[@darknagaadventures7884]

He was always a delight. What he did for Roni Spektor was incredible

[@steveturner3999]

My Dad died two days after my 15th birthday in 1973. Never got to really share a lot of music with him. I would love to sit down with him and talk about so many things, music included. Thanks for sharing this wonderful interview Adam. Eddie made such good music. My wife and I loved all his songs. Lost her in 2021. Now music is a two edged sword. Lots of memories but they can be very bittersweet. R.I.P. Dad, Rhonda and Eddie Money. Wish all of you could “Take me home tonight.”

[@rogerdeahl9629]

Eddie Money is truly a great guy. A Brooklyn guy who became a California rock star. Love it. 2 Tickets to Paradise is what we get with you every day, Professor. Thanks for this.

[@ProfessorofRock]

That's right! Gotta love it.

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

Enjoyed this one.

[@mikemcgown6362]

Eddie Money was a musical genius! He spoke so many truths in his songs. I used (parodied sorta) 2 Tickets to ask a girl out. She wasn't a real popular girl but she had my attention in Jr. High school and High School but I never got up the nerve to ask her out. It was a couple years after graduation that I ran into her in the mall and asked her for her number so I could ask her out. I went home and tried to find an unrefusable request for a date. Listening to the radio 2 Tickets To Paradise came on. The Weird All came out all of a sudden and I blurted out "I've got 2 tickets to Cedar Point". That's a very popular and large amusement park in Sandusky Ohio. I had access to tickets locally. So I sat down and started scribbling lyrics. I knew she would laugh, but would it impress her enough to accept? I called her up and started singing (sort of) and when she started giggling I knew it was yes. We set it up for the next Saturday morning to go on our date. It was all day just the 2 of us in a packed amusement park. We had a good day, but evidently not good enough because she let me know when I drove her home and walked her to her door, that there wouldn't be another date. That's okay, Jill. I still remember our "2 Tickets to Cedar Point" when I here Eddie sing his song.

[@traywilson]

Saw him at the Wichita Riverfest. Put on an amazing set and afterwards announced to the crowd he'd be hanging out on the side of the stage for any fans who wanted to come up and say hello. Super nice and very humble. Appreciated his fans.

[@thecollective1584]

I had a chance to meet the Money Man when he played a theater-sized venue in the small town I lived in. My best friend was stage crew and got me in. He and the band and I ended up hanging out talk7ng like musicians do. The band invited me back to the hotel to party after. Eddie was one of the nicest, funniest, most genuine musicians I've ever met. He was just a regular shmoe who happened to be an international rock star, but was not any better than anyone else.

[@ProfessorofRock]

He's hilarious Probably the funniest guy I've ever interviewed !

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

He loved to make people happy and make them laugh…

[@BillGraper]

My uncle's band played this song in the 90's, and one day I sat in on their practice with my keyboard. They loved my keyboard playing, and the fact that I could play all of these 70's songs by ear. They sounded AMAZING in the chorus for "Two Tickets To Paradise." I can still hear it in my mind to this day.

[@ProfessorofRock]

Great memories. A great thank you for sharing it .

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

I can play a lot of classics on the piano too.

[@BillGraper]

@@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980 The song that was the most fun for me was "Swingtown" by Steve Miller Band. I played those cool keyboard notes, and kept changing sounds like they do in the actual song.

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

@@BillGraper It’s an otherworldly sounding song.

[@barbaramatthews4735]

I had the pleasure of actually meet Eddie Money once at a USO concert while I was in the Navy. It was a small audience and you couldn't tell because he rocked it as if it was a full auditorium. After the concert he stayed to mingle with us sailors and sign autographs. He was amazing. I always thought about he took a lot of time making all of us feel loved and appreciated. When I say small crowd I'm talking about a dining room at an on base all hands club. Probably around 100+/- audience. He didn't seem bothered and gave a real performance. So humble.

[@johnshelley7215]

After watching the professor of rock’s videos for a while, I’ve come to the conclusion that he is truly the heir apparent to Casey Kasem. Thoroughly knowledgeable with the facts, respectful interviews, and always great backstories. A true tribute to the master!

[@reallyretro]

One of the most underrated vocalists/artists of the late 70’s and early 80’s in my opinion. It wasn’t until that big 1986 hit “Take Me Home Tonight” that people actually heard or knew of his music which is sad.

[@retroatx]

My favorite is Gimme Some Water

[@ProfessorofRock]

I agree. Good call.

[@ProfessorofRock]

Great vocal on that one!

[@spudth]

Not really underrated. Great history. Sad that he fought addiction.

[@peterflynn2111]

Here in Australia it is Baby Hold On from 78 that is more known

[@kimdaniels7713]

I saw Eddie Money , about 10 or more times opening for other bands. Then he became the headliner and other bands opened for him. He is truly missed.

[@ProfessorofRock]

He is definitely missed.

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

A true rockstar.

[@metairieman55]

You pull some of the best interviews out of these artists because of your deep respect for the musicians who create these masterpieces. And your love and respect for the man who introduced you to the art . . . your father. Good job, Mr. Reader!

[@Bcananzey]

Eddie Money is extremely underrated imo! His Greatest hits is great.

[@andifisaytoyoutomorrow0]

Saw him a couple years before his death. He was a natural with the crowd, had everyone dancing and singing, and played his saxophone too. We lost a legendary performer.

[@pdmullgirl]

RIP Eddie. I’m so glad you got to interview Eddie. What a great interview. And the fact he said to you to thank your father for turning you on to his music. It don’t get no better than that. Music is magical. ❤️💜💚

[@l.t.w8985]

I just sent this to mrs. $. I'm sure she'll really love it. I love interviews with Eddie. He really was such a character and all-around good guy.

[@dtpugliese318]

Eddie Money was one of kind. He was such an authentic, kind and interesting man. Anytime I get to hear an interview with him I never pass up the opportunity.

[@babygerald4645]

These interviews are the best and this one with Eddie is simply magical. Adam takes pop music history to another level, proving with every interview that he loves the music as much, if not more, than the musicians themselves. Only someone with Adam's genuine love for the subject would be able to get Eddie's eyes light up like they did when he learned about how his music tangentially led to Chris Pratt and Anna Faris meeting. That's a rare gift. I would love to see a feature at some point on Bill Graham. The impact that one man had on our culture is almost impossible to fully appreciate, but if there is someone who could, it is our humble professor.

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

You know you’re a legend when you end up marrying Chris Pratt and Anna Faris.

[@jennyjenny4501]

So lucky to be an 80’s child! The music was so amazing!

[@ProfessorofRock]

No kidding!

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

Like, totally.

[@AZD2169]

Funny, I got stuck in an elevator with him at the Venetian hotel for two hours. He told me he was a New York Policeman. I said “man you’re a dead ringer for Jon Von Jovi” he laughed and said you don’t know how many times I’ve heard that. Just a down to earth great guy.

[@ProfessorofRock]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing that!

[@TJ-id6ee]

Haha, did he sing in the elevator? He used to sing sing anywhere he went.

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

Awwww…so sweet.

[@kellycranford3592]

I LOVEd him!! His song 'Shakin' brings back fond memories of my Senior year in high school. It was playing on the radio on the way to school one morning and everyone walking in the halls and thru the doors was singing that song. Really cool moment and memory. I wished I could thank him for all the great memories involving his songs. He is truly missed.

[@JimbobZ17]

Thanks Adam. Eddie is one of my favorites. Sad he’s gone. Endless nights is one of my favorites & I wanna go back is my theme song.

[@ProfessorofRock]

Endless Nights is a classic

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

Very underrated songs.

[@flavellinator]

Eddie mastered a contemporary rock sound with meaningful nostalgia-based lyrics. Saw him for a New Years Eve concert and he truly delivered... his beautiful wife was there and he introduced her to the crowd in the theater... So personable then and it's awesome to see it shine through in your interview... Thx PoR!

[@ProfessorofRock]

THanks Flavelinator! Love EM.

[@TJ-id6ee]

It's very special to me too. Eddie and my dad were best friends in the the early years in the bay area. He was his stage, road manager, and my godfather! I have great memories of being part of the family and seeing his success during the late 70's early 80's. So much fun. Love how much he enjoyed sharing his life stories with you! I'm glad we have his music to bring back these prcious memories. Take care~thanks for sharing yours Adam.

I was into hard rock in high school so of course I'll never forget their stories and photo albums. Lol I just wanted to add.... I got to meet April Wine back in 1982 when they opened for Eddie. That was, and still is one of my favorites.

Mr. Money was a friend of my childhood friends family. The family owned a popular Irish Pub in Berkeley (McNally’s) and Mr. Money was a regular there. I met him at my friends house when he had come for a BQ at their home in like 81 or 82. I was only in HS at the time. He was a totally regular guy and really friendly. Gave me a dollar bill that he signed which I still have somewhere. We also did yard work at his home in Moraga once. Great memories. RIP Eddie Money

[@adreanmarantz2103]

I got to see Eddie Money at a race track about 10 years ago. It was a free concert and "I think I'm in love" is one of my all time favorites, so why not? His voice was a little rough for the first couple of songs until he warmed up, but just amazing from then on. This was also a great reminder of how many hits he had put out. I could only remember a few walking in, but counted at least 13 by the time it was done. Great time.

[@richardmassei9488]

Probably one of the most underrated singer/songwriter/musician, he could do it all! I really enjoyed this interview with a down to earth person! I especially like how he deferred or referred to the names you threw out or he brought up in such a positive and loving(reverentail)tone. RIP Eddie, you were one of the greatest!

[@tinaheadrick536]

My very first Eddie Money song was “Shakin’”. I saw the video on MTV during the summer when I was 15, and became an instant fan. “Two Tickets To Paradise” is my favorite of his songs, but I can’t help loving “Take Me Home Tonight”, too. I actually knew who Ronnie Spector was and thought it was so cool that they did that song together. Thank you for this segment. Eddie was one of the greats, for sure.❤❤

[@tpr299]

I saw Eddie twice in one year back in the mid nineties. Great performances. At the greet, and meet after the second one my wife mentioned to him that I was a state trooper. He seemed to get excited, and thanked me for being a cop. He seemed very sincere. Great guy.

[@Steven-hk2wb]

I saw Eddie play at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk many years ago. He said, "I wrote this next song 3 rehabs ago." So funny. "I Wanna Go Back" is the greatest story of my life. May God bless you Eddie Money. I grew up playing songs from you. Hope to meet you in the next life.

My dad and I just looked at each other, and started jamming out to it! It was a great daddy-daughter outing. I miss Eddie and I miss my dad.

I lived next to a horse racing track in Upstate NY for 34 years. In the late 90's that track hosted Fireworks Over Central NY for a local radio station (TK99). Eddie Money loved playing that gig so much he did it for almost 10 years in a row. Every year I'd sit in my backyard and have a free Eddie Money concert with my family... That's a special memory...

[@robster7316]

What a wonderful interview! Eddie was such a character. He could have made it as a stand-up comic. Two-Tickets To Paradise has such a great vibe to it and Jimmy Lyon’s outstanding solo work really carries the tune. Touching story about the connection to your dad, too. Thanks, Adam!

Thanks Robster! Always appreciate your comments.

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

I would have loved to see him do a stand up routine.

[@philbrown1474]

Great interview. I saw Eddie 5 or 6 times. 4 times in front of a large crowd. Once in front of a huge crowd. 1 time, and the most memorable, was in front of maybe 35 people at a casino in the middle of nowhere in Oklahoma. My wife and I looked to be the only people that even knew who he was. He put in the same fantastic show for us and a few others that he’d put on in front of 5000 people. At the end of the show he told the “crowd” - “Tell everyone what a good show they missed!” We bought some Tshirts, Eddie and his daughter - a good singer herself btw - signed them and we talked awhile. One of my fav entertainers ever - a class act.

[@scottmacwilliams8308]

Saw Eddie Money live several times, always a great show. Jimmy Lyon is still one of my all time favorite guitar players, just great. One thing that stuck out in my mind the last time seeing him live was just how many great songs he had. Got to meet him as well after a show and like everyone has sad, just a down to earth nice guy. Great and everlasting memories!!!!

[@iambecomedeafdestroyerofwords]

Eddie money was like Tom petty ; the backbone of rock n roll but rarely mentioned up there with the greats even though they were great in their own right! I remember singing “ I got 2 chickens a bag of rice, won’t you grab some eggs we’ll eat toniiiiiight” lol great times!

[@lynnestamey7272]

I love the stories about your father that you share with us. My best music memory I have with my father was a discussion about a Hollies song in the 1960s, Long Cool Woman (in a black dress). Lead singer Allan Clarke, who was also a cowriter, had a great voice. My Dad, an older guy born in 1916, told me that he didn't understand why anyone with such a good voice would want to sing that kind of stuff. I always remind myself that his idea of a rollicking tune was Mack the Knife! Thanks, Professor!

[@TheCharlesAtoz]

I think I was in college when I discovered his music, Eddie was a blue collar guy that connected with me on so many levels. Great revisit Adam- it meant a lot to hear him talk again about the his past, our past. We can go back, but in our memories.

He was so awesome, and gracious to the people in the park. The last thing he said as they closed their set was "I dont do this for me; I do it for you! Thank you so much for having me!"

Totally loved Eddie Money. I did get the privilege of seeing him live with his original band, while his kids were still little. It was completely fabulous. He is missed. RIP Eddie.

[@kurtkensson2059]

I saw Eddie Money open for Foghat on 4/5/1978. We didn't know much about him then. That changed over the next few years!

[@ProfessorofRock]

Very cool!

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

He started making hits.

[@brentcox7772]

Saw him backup Allman Brothers in ‘81!! Put on a great performance!!🤘🔥

[@ProfessorofRock]

Very cool!

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

He was born a ramblin’ man.

[@mdlwanders8626]

Wow, Adam, what a great interview. Eddie always seemed to be a genuinely nice, humble guy. Your time with him sure validates that for me. The music industry needs more gentle souls like his. R.I.P. Edward Mahoney.

[@markcatanzaro9699]

What an absolutely awesome interview of an amazing guy, a music legend and incredibly down to earth man!

[@briansnow9865]

One of your BEST interviews ever. And I understand why you held onto it for so long. Three great guys. Your dad, you, and Eddie Money.

[@sixgunrj]

Great interview! Always loved his music and his sense of humor. My band plays "Two Tickets To Paradise" to this day. I was so lucky to have seen him in concert many years ago at Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ. After everyone though the concert was over he kept on playing more songs until they kicked us out finally. I was walking outside the venue and could still here him singing with his band. RIP Eddie.

[@tedbecker4051]

Love the interview. He was such a down-to-earth, genuine man. Great vocalist. Two Tickets to Paradise is an unforgettable song.

[@danielpaulin4642]

Thank You for letting us all GO BACK AGAIN. Yout are the best at what you do. Kasey Kasam would agree. I love hearing the Artists takes behind their music. ROCK ON. You are the ULTIMATE ROCK and ROLL HISTORIAN. Thanks for the memories.

[@spartannole71]

I saw Eddie Money at a free concert he did with Night Ranger, Joe Walsh, Tim McGraw and Montel Jordan @ Camp Lejuene North Carolina in 1997 while I was serving in the Marine Corps. He was by far the best of them all. Thank you Professor for this one. Great memories!

[@DeafGryphon]

My wife was born on Camp Lejeuine, and her dad was a Marine there. He was retired and worked the boat docks for Civil Service there as well. I LOVE that area. God Bless you for your service sir… Ooooohh Rahhh….

[@marioerueda-almonte7938]

The Best Male Rock singer. Missed every day. I also relate me to my dad, who passed a year before Eddie. He took me, back in 1991, to see Eddie in San Diego at a place in Kearney Mesa named "The Rhythm Cafe" for the first time. Eddie also deserves to be in the Hall of Fame of Rock & Roll for sure. Great Video Professor as always. Cheers

[@JamesTaylor-yw2rg]

Rest in peace Eddie definitely one of my favorite artist of all time great songs

[@ProfessorofRock]

Such a legend.

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

He was awesome.

[@tnrodgers]

Adam another special interview with cherished memories. Eddie was genuine, love hearing the stories and his humility. Hug your family, time goes fast.

[@scottyarms78]

A legend who is sometimes under appreciated in the grand scheme of things. What a voice.

[@bheryla]

The opening chords to "Two Tickets to Paradise" puts a smile on my face every time. I received a copy of the album "Life For The Taking" for my birthday. I STILL play it to death! I later got a copy of the debut album and filled my collection of Eddie's catalog. I just graduated out of broadcasting school and got to work at a Top 40 station in Walla Walla. "Take Me Home Tonight" had just been released and hoped it would hit number one on the Billboard charts. Peaked at number 4 but hit number one Rock Mainstream. What I call my Eddie Money "Fourplay" include the debut album, Life For The Taking, No Control and Can't Hold Back. Still in heavy rotation in my household. Honorable mentions to "Walk On Water" and "Peace In Our Time". "Rock and Roll the Place" should've been a smash single IMO also. Thanks for this great interview Adam! Long live the Money Man.

[@micnorton9487]

What a cool guy,, just really personable and humorous and I know you realize how fortunate and frankly,, historic in an artistic sense to get such an offhand and perfect interview with a guy who IS classic rock,, hats off again Professor,, you NAILED it...

[@duromusabc]

Eddie Money was a legend ! Especially his huge career comeback in 1986 -1987 Just like Tina Turner , White Snake, Eric Carmen, The Boss, Boston, Dire Straits and Aerosmith

[@ProfessorofRock]

Helluva comeback for sure!

[@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980]

With Take Me Home Tonight, which had another grand comeback with the late Ronnie Spector.

[@barbaradascalos4411]

ZZ Top...

[@kenhahn5544]

Eddie's wife keeps his Facebook page alive. And so endearing to see how much she obviously love Eddie. He just seems like a just a regular guy who happened to be a Rockstar

[@milanomaker]

Love your interviews. Your interviews aren’t those prepared tv interviews that we are subjected to so often. You capture the artists in a very comfortable setting, and they have the ability to be themselves, and not what their managers want them to say. I’ve always been that guy who likes the backstory to rock artists. Thanks so much for your channel.

[@williampaul4212]

My favorite Eddie Money song is Shakin and Walk on Water, but I also love Take me Home Tonight and Two Tickets to Paradise,his music was so good and it brings me back to a lot of great times in my life. Thank you Professor of Rock for giving us these moments to reflect on and helping us to remember the good times in our lives. God bless you in all that you do. Keep up the great job.

[@coachhumph5524]

Eddie Money is so great and I'm so glad he brought up the song I'll Get By because as much as I marked the times of my life growing up with his songs in heavy rotation on the radio it is definitely the song I'll Get By that stands as my favorite. I love the vulnerability that he expresses so beautifully. Thank you as always Adam.

[@melanieshaw3210]

Adam, I'm so glad that I am not the only person that the music of an artist literally moved to tears. My daddy passed when I was 10 years old in 1977 and in 1998 on my honeymoon we drove out Route 66 and stopped in Victorville, California at the Roy Rogers Museum. My daddy was the biggest Sons of the Pioneers fan. He had a beautiful voice and to hear him sing those songs along with their albums in our living room was just magical. So when we were in the museum, they were playing Sons of the Pioneers music through the speakers and the next thing I knew I found myself standing there with tears just silently rolling down my face. I couldn't stop it, no one was around and I couldn't have done anything about it if there had been. Standing there in that moment just brought back so many memories. So I totally get where you're coming from. Happy (but sad too) tears! Daddies are special!

[@musclecarmitch908]

Awesome episode Professor! Eddie Money has always been one of my favorites! Great music and great personality! I loved his reality show and really miss it since his passing, we lost him too soon!

[@carolynmaynard3694]

I loved and still love Eddie Money. I am so lucky that I was alive and grew up in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s. I hope he knows that no one fell asleep.❤️💔❤️‍🩹
