...and do it all over! No phrase rings truer. Just one minuscule change in just one event in your past could have made your life so drastically different.

I saw this man a few times in the 80s. You rock Eddie Money!

I liked Eddie's stuff as well.
What ever became of him ?
I understand he was a member of the NYPD before ?

From wikipedia:

After following in his father's footsteps and training to be a police officer in the late 1960s [1], Money began to take an interest in music, and eventually gave up his law enforcement career altogether in favor of becoming a musician. He moved to Berkeley, California and became a regular at area clubs, where he eventually got enough attention to secure a recording contract with Columbia Records. Later in the decade, he experienced numerous charting singles such as "Baby Hold On" and "Two Tickets to Paradise". Money continued his successes and took advantage of the MTV music video scene in the early 1980s with his humorous narrative videos for "Shakin'" and "Think I'm In Love", but his career began to fail him after several unsuccessful releases in the mid-1980s, accompanied by his struggles with drug addiction.

Money made a comeback two years later in 1986 and returned to the mainstream rock spotlight with the album Can't Hold Back, which featured a Ronnie Spector duet with "Take Me Home Tonight", which reached the Top 10, along with the hit "I Wanna Go Back". Money followed the album with another Top 10 hit "Walk on Water", but his career ended during the later part of the decade. During the 1990s and 2000s, Money continued to release numerous compilation albums along with several albums featuring new material. Today he still tours the "Oldies" circuit regularly, often accompanied by other successful rock acts from his era, and has also made several television appearances on American sitcoms.

Eddie Money rocks. Period. "Two Tickets to Paradise" is a great song, along with his other hits. :AOK:
