Talk:Rick Springfield

message: It would be great if someone more talented than I could add the information of Ricks reoccurring role as Lucifer's "vessel" Vince Vincent on the CW TV show "Supernatural" in season 12. He was in 3 episodes and played a rather important part. 66.183.137.66 (talk) 00:16, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: He was one of Lucifers vessels, he played famous rock star Vince Vincent. He excepted Lucifer after Lucifer played on his mind using Vince ex girlfriend who died from a over dose. Lucifer made Vince believe his girlfriend wanted to let her inside Vince he was so heartbroken that he said yes, and Lucifer took over Vince's body. Lucifer started killing Vince's band members then he had this groupie who loved Vince so much that Lucifer was able to talk this young lady into cutting his full name Vince Vincent into her chest not missing a letter. Then Vince(Lucifer)had his producer stab himself in the neck with a pin. He was planning on killing alot more people alot of kids and adults at his concert that night, until Dean, Sam, Cast, and Crowley came and they worked Lucifer over until Vince Vincent's body started to wear out and started shriveling up. Then Lucifer left Vince's body and Vince Vincent body was left lying on the ground looking like a shriveled up prune.DEAD! RIP Vince Vincent 😔 **Rick Springfield did a great job playing Lucifer** AngelNelz (talk) 10:58, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

thread_title: Supernatural tv show

message: From February 2001 through December 2002, Springfield performed in EFX Alive! at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas with great success, pleasing both critics and audiences. The show was a hit for its entire run, with Rick adding new songs and segments that made it uniquely his. EFX Alive! ended in December of 2000 - okay, did it end in 2000, even though it didn't begin until 2001? RickK 05:10, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Problem with chronology

message: Is Dr. Drake Ramoray, the fictional Doctor played by fictional character Joey Tribbiani, (who, in turn, is played by real actor Matt LeBlanc), on the sitcom Friends inspired by Dr. Noah  Drake on General Hospital?
If so, this would be obvious, if not convoluted fodder for a trivia section.

thread_title:  WikiProject class rating

message: As of late, there have been several attempts to vandalize this page. People are imputting information here about Springfield's personal life that clearly violates the guidelines for biographies for living persons as stated at the top of this talk page: Controversial material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced. If one goes back into the previous pages, they will see that the "information" was definitely false and/or libelous. For that reason, on 9/26/06, I attempted to put the entry on "semi-protect" but today 9/27/07, I discover it was removed by some "bot." Why? How does one get the necessary page protection back on here? Ladycascadia 12:26, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Need for page protection on this entry

message: "He then appeared on Don't Forget The Lyrics in January 2009 to sing "Jessie's Girl" and his new song "What's Victoria's Secret". He stayed until the show was over[when?]. On March 19 2009, he played a gig in support of "Voices of Uganda" at the Key Club in Los Angeles. The gig was co-organized by fellow General Hospital alum, actress Melissa Fitzgerald."
Belongs somewhere else. If such minor appearances belong in the article at all. He doubtless has made dozens of such appearances.202.82.171.186 (talk) 05:57, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Not for summary section

message: He came close to having another top 40 pop hit but during the late 1970s concentrated mostly on a burgeoning acting career, guest starring in a number of prime time television dramas.
How are we supposed to understand this?  He had a song that made, say, 45th place?  If so, what was the song?  Or did he just feel like "could have had a hit," but focused on TV, instead?
The citation quoted as the source for this only says  In 1976, 'Wait for Night' and 'Take a Hand' were promising, but Universal dropped him. and then goes on to talk about his TV career.  How we get from that source to the current sentence which I'm questioning is a mystery to me. --Eliyahu S Talk 21:42, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  What does this mean? 

message: The information re: spouse has been removed as it is incorrect. Springfield did not marry her when she was 18. They married in 1984, and as she was born in 1961, that would put her at age 23.
Biography book removed because it reads more like an advertisement or promotion  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 15.251.169.69 (talk) 18:16, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

message: What about the TV series he was in - "High Tide"? 207.118.132.111 (talk) 09:06, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Information on the series seems scarce -- the Wikipedia link on the High tide disambiguation page is a redlink, and even iMDB doesn't have key details such as broadcast/syndication history (plus iMDB is rarely seen as a reliable source). Definitely worth noting, but decent sources would be needed. Gusworld (talk) 09:23, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The music section needs expansion and has been tagged accordingly. It stops abruptly in 1985 and says nothing about any of Springfield's later musical output. (There were three sentences about post-1985 material; however, one was unsourced and the other two were unreliably sourced, so I removed them.) I am no Rick Springfield expert, but there is a bunch of stuff listed in his discography here that is post-1985. It seems to me that there should be at least a few paragraphs about that period.
