RIP Eddie Money
Growing up in the Bay, he was a pretty big deal. Picked up a few stories about him from people that knew him and strangely usually centered around cocaine.
Godspeed.

My friend Grew Lowry made his guitars and played lead for Eddie for years. Eddie liked the heroin.

He used to do shows at Sugarloaf up Maine or so I saw ads for such.

Eddie Money was one of the first concerts I ever saw.
Napa Town and Country Fair circa 1980/1981.
Though I can't remember if he opened for Starship, The Beach Boys, Greg Kihn, or Huey Lewis...
Sadly, the only song of his I know is "Two Tickets To Paradise". That song was ubiquitous on Bay Area radio when I was a wee lad.
Edit:
And "Baby Hold On." That is the only other tune of his I know (MarshallTucker reminded me with his post).
Edit #2
Add "Shakin'" and "Think I'm In Love" to this list.
But I am pretty sure those are the only 4 Eddie Money runes I know.Last edited by dookey67; 09-13-2019 at 12:09 PM.

I have a distict memory of throwin one-wheelers at the Mach 1 Skatepark quarter-pipe ramp to baby hold on. that would be spring 1978. Other than that utterly forgettable, but condolances just the same. carry on.

Randomest story: I saw Eddie Money at a waterfront park in Toledo; there was a festival there and I was on a boat drinking with a bunch of people I didn't know, including Jim Leyland's sister.
It makes perfect sense...until you think about it.
I suspect there's logic behind the madness, but I'm too dumb to see it.

While I don't regularly read RS and feel that it's slipped off quite a lot since the '80s, I did stumble upon this piece yesterday and found it to be a good read:
