    This man is 74 and looks like he's in his 40's ! He's great, and a great actor !
  • @w4dZ0o
    I love Rick's takes on everything. Seems like such a good dude.
  • @notofthisworld41
    His background stories on each of the albums in his bag proves he's more than just a pop singer from the 80's. He's a rocker period!
  • @slasherdope8065
    Alright Rick, showing love for one of the absolute best, Queens of the Stone Age. I can dig that
  • @tomowens7499
    How does he still look that good in his SEVENTIES?! love that guy, great songwriter
  • @veerchasm1
    Finally, someone acknowledges the Church’s “Starfish” album
  • @DearDrDoom
    Respect to Rick for giving some love to The Church! I forgot he was Australian... you can still hear it a little :D
  • @andrewd7586
    As a kid of the 60’s growing up here in Australia I still remember listening to songs from Zoot & after with your solo career Rick. I still have I think Explosive Hits ‘73(?) with “Speak To The Sky” on it. One of my absolute favourite tracks as a kid! Still loved & missed back home Rick. 😎👍🏼🇦🇺
  • Rick we met (1984 concert) back in Indy at the tennis courts. We ran into each other as you were walking back to your tour bus, from a sound check. It was a beautiful summer day, you were very charming and said hi to me. I responded and asked for an autograph. Pulled some paper from my shorts……no pen😮 you asked another girl for her pen, took it from her asked my name (Vickie) wrote a sweet note, and signed your name!! Still have it. Thank you for being and staying that super cool person. You had my heart ❤️ from that Indy summer day😊. Take care and keep doin what you do.
  • @longlivetheclash
    You bloody nailed it Rick Springfield- Brilliant picks and way to call out The Church and AC/DC - Aussie Aussie Aussie!
  • @Hamptonio
    “Inside Sylvia” is one of the purest rock ballads ever laid to tape. It’s insane how many perfect pop songs are on “Working Class Dog.”
  • @BruceColon-BSides
    Rick’s always been cool, it’s just taken some folks longer to see it. Talented pop songsmith and a great live performer too. 😎👍
  • @finch45lear
    What a talented guy. A great musician, writer, actor and extremely knowledgeable. Wonderful episode. Thanks.
  • @beckyj-g3752
    I love hearing his passion for all music. He's geeky heart shows with the way he appreciates the contributions of so many varied artists. Thanks for this showcase of awesome music theough Rick's eyes. Rick is an awesome performer, writer, actor and all around great artist!
  • @ajayasiver3944
    The Church Starfish is one of the most underrated albums ever
  • @wickedillusion66
    Ok Amoeba, I have watched alot of Whats In My Bag but this is hands down your best. I grew up hearing Rick on top 40 radio, cool stuff, but wow I am floored on his knowledge. He just schooled your viewers with knowledge, stories and his own perspectives on the history of music. Thanks for giving him the time to flesh out...
  • @mountart2
    Great picks and even better stories... thank you Rick!
  • @howlermouse
    Rick Springfield! Thank you, Amoeba!! Thank you, Rick, for being a fan of The Church.
  • @arockj
    This was so lovely, and it made me happy. He's the real deal, and a big part of it all...AND NOW I JUST WANT TO GO HANG OUT WITH RICK SPRINGFIELD, we could just sit around and crank Hendrix records. Rick, I'm so happy you're still out there and breathing with us man. You taught me a couple things in this video too, Thank you.
