Late, Late at Night
Late, Late at Night | Rick Springfield
5 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
Features four bonus videos! Watch Rick discuss the events that have shaped his life; step inside his recording studio to hear him discuss his music, his acting career, coming to America, and his love of dogs; and watch Rick's Whats Victorias Secret? music video and his unplugged version of I Get Excited. In a searingly candid memoir which he authored himself, Grammy Award-winning pop icon Rick Springfield pulls back the curtain on his image as a bright, shiny, happy performer to share the startling story of his rise and fall and rise in music, film, and television and his lifelong battle with depression. In the 1980s, singer-songwriter and actor Rick Springfield seemed to have it all: a megahit single in Jessies Girl, sold-out concert tours, follow-up hits that sold more than 17 million albums and became the pop soundtrack for an entire generation, and 12 million daily viewers who avidly tuned in to General Hospital to swoon over his portrayal of the handsome Dr. Noah Drake. Yet lurking behind his success as a pop star and soap opera heartthrob and his unstoppable drive was a moody, somber, and dark soul, one filled with depression and insecurity. In Late, Late at Night, the memoir his millions of fans have been waiting for, Rick takes readers inside the highs and lows of his extraordinary life. By turns winningly funny and heartbreakingly sad, every page resonates with Ricks witty, wry, self-deprecating, brutally honest voice. On one level, he reveals the inside story of his ride to the top of the entertainment world. On a second, deeper level, he recounts with unsparing candor the forces that have driven his life, including his longtime battle with depression and thoughts of suicide, the shattering death of his father, and his decision to drop out at the absolute peak of fame. Having finally found a more stable equilibrium, Ricks story is ultimately a positive one, deeply informed by his passion for creative expression through his music, a deep love of his wife of twenty-six years and their two sons, and his life-long quest for spiritual peace.

I like these activities.

Late Late at Night by Rick Springfield is the one book I had occasion to recommend the most and it is fans of Mr. Springfield. He is very candid and open, if you are not a fan you may find his writing style a challenge.

I only ask for suggestion when book clubs goes with themes instead of a particular book. I do read many books I see other reading because I like the covers.

😍I am having a love hate relationship with this author/singer/movie star. He has two book read them both. Loved this one. He is transparent and makes you love and hate him through the book. He is the author and narrator. Yes I listened to the audio. He has potential. 😍

Rick has a sense of humor but his life was so crazy different than mine I couldn't connect so I bailed.

Purrfectpages Oh no! Haven‘t read this yet, but I love Rick! 6y

DAB It is crazy but his struggle is real and that is why I hung in. We come across many different people.

Currently reading Late, Late at Night by Rick Springfield but several of my library requests came in at once. Suggestions as to what to read next or what to skip?

InnerSavvy I read her other book The Address and loved it so that needs to be read. Thanks 6y

Yes, I still have this book from my teenage crush as Rick Springfield is still my pick for #celebritylove for #sizzlinsummerbooks . Ironically, all my other choices would be hard rock, hair bands, or heavy metal 😂
