Hey music junkies, Professor of Rock always here to celebrate the greatest artists and the greatest songs of all time. If you love the music of the rock and roll era, you’ll want to explore this channel subscribe below right now to get the stories from the legends. and for even more content check us out on Patreon the link is above too.
it’s time for another edition of our show revelations where featured artists share rare stories behind their greatest songs and albums. Insight you won’t find anywhere else. Today’s interview is with one of my favorites He was raised in Brooklyn New York as Eddie Mahoney and was on his way to following in his father and brother's footsteps to be a policeman for the NYPD but dropped out of the trainee program to chase his dream of becoming a rock star. He changed his name to Eddie Money! He moved to LA and started dating a rich sorority girl, whose parents didn’t approve of his rock and roll ways… He wanted to take her on a special trip to paradise but didn’t have the money so he wrote a song about it… It became the classic Two Tickets To Paradise. I’ll let him tell you how it all worked out, plus a story of how he was able to bring a legend out of retirement to sing on another huge record that would also become an 80s classic. It’s a great story straight from the hilarious jester of rock. I’ve always felt that Eddie Money was like the Thurman Munson of rock.
He killed it for over 40 years on the rock stage and he left it all out on that stage. His swagger and passion were apparent night after night. He passed away a few years back and has been sorely missed.
What follows is me getting the real story of Eddie Money the cop, and the story of his greatest hits Two Tickets to Paradise and Take Me Home Tonight. As I always say on this channel. I feel the songs are magic... They're time capsules that when played, take us back to life's sweetest memories. For me Eddie Money’s music takes me back to driving around my small town of black foot Idaho with my dad and every time I hear Eddie's music, I wanna go back and do it all over. Eddie Money passed away almost one month to the day after my dad, they were about the same age.
When I interviewed him it was pretty special, as I got to relay the memories of his music to Eddie, and how his music created the father and son bond. Actually, Eddie wrote a special note to my dad as I had him autograph the exact copy of the cassette my dad wore out so long ago and passed on to me… I remember a few months ago I was at the store with my boys and his song came on. After about 20 seconds I was bawling. I miss my dad every day… I’m so grateful I have this music to remember him.

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.

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💜

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.❤❤

@AZD2169 Год назад

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.

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...

@TheKeymaster316 Год назад

When MTV came out in the early 80’s I was in the 3rd grade. I was absolutely infatuated with his Shakin’ video! I would stand at the door every morning waiting to see if the video would come on before the bus would come. That album, No Control, was the very first album that I ever owned, I got it that Christmas. It hangs on my wall to this day. One of my favorite artists of all time. 🙏🏻

@adreanmarantz2103 Год назад

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.

@ursulacosta307 Год назад

My family and I moved from England to Long Island at the end of 1964, and Eddie was one of my first friends in America. I used to work in an advertising mailing company, and sometimes he would pick me up after work. He would be standing outside of his car singing at the top of his lungs ‘Waiting for a factory girl’ You just never knew when he would break into a song!

@philbrown1474 Год назад

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.

For those in the Metro Detroit area, Eddie Money and Pine Knob went hand in hand. Every year, he was the concert that kicked off the summer concert series.

I love seeing these interviews. Adam has a knack for finding huge rock stars who turn out to be real people. Also, hearing him talk about his dad and his music, and how much he misses him, makes me think of my mom and how much I miss her (although her music was from the Big Band Era). It doesn't make me sad, so much as nostalgic, and I feel a kinship with Adam and everyone else who has lost a parent they were especially close to. R.I.P. Mr. Money, Mr. Reader, and Mama.

@babygerald4645 Год назад

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.

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!

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!"

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

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..

I came to L.A. from Boston to visit my sister and she and her boyfriend both worked for Eddie's record label. After a fantastic dinner party honoring Jonny Mathis, they took me to a studio where Eddie was recording an album. It was great to meet him. Such gentleman. It was quite an evening for me, a greenhorn from Massachusetts. That was when L.A. was still an exciting and fun place. The 80s! Miss them along with the 60s and 70s.

@@ProfessorofRock Yes he was. First time I met him his wife was very pregnant and he asked us to help her while he was getting their luggage to his vehicle. They had just landed and we were picking someone up. We spent about an hour helping him and just BS-ing about music (we were all in struggling bands at the time). He told us to just keep playing. The second time he was walking into a restaurant we had just finished doing a sound check on. We had a cover band gig that night. He remembered us, stood there talking to us for a while, then said he'd come back later and listen to us. The place was called Imperial Garden in Hollywood off Sunset. The place was packed that night and tended to attract a lot of famous people of the time, so I have no idea if he came back or not, but he seemed genuinely happy to just get to talk music with regular dudes.
