Best reason not to do drugs, if I ever saw one.

To my knowledge, Eddie is still out there doin' his thang, as far as touring is concerned. He does shows here in the Detroit area often. I still LOVE "Take Me Home Tonight".

Yup he was always a solo act and he was HUGE for awhile in the 80's.

I think he wa sint he string of Billy Joel singer/song writer types.

Apollonia & Freddie Mercury both make an appearance as well as Eddie's many Sly Stallone faces.

yeah i think its funny too how he just doesnt stop singing it either, which is funny because they do that to ALOT of few hit wonders, keep making them singing that one fucking song. As far as his look, Eddie was always a little bit nuts, and creepy looking and was very shaky and shifty, not sure if he some kind of muscle issue or whatever but he always acting that way.

It sounds a little out of key and his eyes are going in diffeent directions, it freeks me out.

Looking at that album cover I guess his eyes have always been like that...just like Lenny Kravitz...

Yeah I noticed he was o a tour with something like, Loverboy and Survivor a couple years ago. I had the distinct feeling that "Eddie Money is gonna be the undisputed highlight of this festival. OH NO!"

THAT^ is pretty well off giving that Eddie didn't have any more career hits after the 1980's.
