Eddie Money - Not What I Expected



When I first saw that Geico commercial I thought, "Now here's a burnt out druggie loser trying to make a buck so he can buy another eight ball."

So I looked Eddie up, did just a little research. He's from Brooklyn, NY. His grandfather, father and brother were all NYPD cops.

This 2005 interview in Allen, Texas, was revealing. Note the shirt he's wearing...

Yeah, he looks... a little rough right up front. But it looks like having been an officer, and having that as a family thing, has kept him in good stead. It's good to see a singer who isn't a complete social and moral (and medical) wash through time.

So, there is hope for humanity.

No doubt about it, Eddie has had his problems with substance abuse but it doesn't seem to have damaged him mentally. Physically, his mileage was on much rougher roads.
