Rick Springfield | The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan

Listen to the Show on all Podcast Apps "The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan" https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... Billy Corgan welcomes Grammy‑winner Rick Springfield for an unfiltered tour through five decades of reinvention: the bubble‑gum‑pink days in the Aussie psych outfit Zoot to Rick’s audacious spin on “Eleanor Rigby,” the labyrinth of visa nightmares and fine‑print contracts that nearly derailed him, his detour into acting that stretched from The Six Million Dollar Man cameos to his star‑making turn as Dr. Noah Drake on General Hospital. Springfield also recounts the marathon climb of “Jessie’s Girl,” the Working Class Dog era, and the brutal mental‑health reset that saved his career and his life.
