Rick’s Dreamboat
Love Talk
How’d you like to spend the day aboating with beautiful, romantic Rick Springfield the sexiest skipper ever to sail the sea?! Well, if you happen to live in Washington, D.C. and were among the lucky young ladies who won radio stations WEAM’s “Why I Want to Go On a Boatride With Rick Springfield!” contest that’s exactly what you did!
One sensationally sunny day, the ecstatic winners of WEAM’s Rick Boatride contest all 200 of them hopped aboard the S.S. Wilson Line where a super ship-shape ‘n smiling Rick stood a-waitin’ to shake hands and say “hi” to each and every girl winner! Soon as the ship set sail, Rick brought out his trusty guitar and did a bit of serenading. Everyone wanted to hear Speak to the Sky and, of course, Rick most willingly obliged. Then came a delish lunch of hot-dogs and soda pop Rick’s fav snack-type foods. Next our hero signed some of his Beginnings albums and then everyone took a guided tour of the boat compliments of Captain A.A. Inall, Jr.
After a while, the invigorating salty sea air ‘n sun inspired everyone and a real hootenanny song-fest began. With rugged Rick at the helm and all the crew crooning along, it was a happy, harmonious ending to a perfect day.
