Funny story involving Mr. Money:

My girlfriend called me up one day and said,

“Hey, my Mary has two extra tickets to a concert tonight. Not sure who it is, sounds like some funk band. Eddie. Money?”

I laughed all the way to the concert.

RIPIP

Never saw that video...that is great.

Edit: Question answered below --  Was that an official video or did someone just use his song?

thank you for the source....great video. ( Also great that nothing in the video tipped me off that is was made in 2014, not in 1977!)

It’s a rip but I don’t care cause it kinda goes with the song.

Agreed.  It also kinda looked like 1977.

I’m not of a too older generation but I remember when the roller rink was shut down in my hometown and I went there for birthday parties, etc, it was a place to go.... Torn down and the lot is a shopping center now I think.

He was a staple on the radio growing up. The local classic rock radio played his stuff all way on my ride home today. There was a few I forgot about.

Rip

When he lived in Lafayette, California, we often saw him while out riding our bikes in Lafayette and Walnut Creek. He always acknowledged us when calling out his name. He sometimes picked up pizza at place where my buddies worked. They would call me up after he came in.

When he overdosed in 1980, my Mom was his ICU nurse during that part of his recovery. She said as he improved, his sense of humor came out and she thought he was hilarious.

Sad to see him go.

I know... I will always be a huge fan. I remember driving my first RX7 and jamming out to Baby Hold On and just jammmmmming. I did not know he OD’ed  in 1980. Really?!?! He did?!

This video reminds me of when I tried rollerskating... it didn’t go that well... I fell on my ass and banged my elbow.

I missed the news that Eddie Money passed away today.

I wonder if this will help sales of his album he just released last July.

I did not know this. As recovering addict I understand that you never know what you can get sometimes.

Also sad times for my friend who was the award-winning director of photography on this video. Somebody owes him like a tenth of a cent x (however many views).

Extremely not Eddie Money’s video—it’s for “Gold,” by Chet Faker. The choreography fits a lot better with the song it was made for...

I gave a listen to No Control as part of a 2 hour drive last night. I made sure to absolutely blast parts of it where appropriate (i.e. in slow traffic).

If you don’t blast Eddie Money on ear busting level while driving you ain’t doing it right. I drove to G’boro and back today and I am probably going to need to see a ENT doctor, lol.
