    "Rock of Life" ROCKS

    By JemE  Oct 9, 1999

    Rick Springfield proved here on thisalbum that he is without a doubt, a musical genius, a power pop superstar who will always rule the music industry.Songs like "Honeymoon in Beirut" and "Woman" will leave your soul aching for more. The title track,... "Rock of Life" and "One Reason" and "Soul to Soul" willmake other singer/songer writer blush with jealousy. "ROCK OF LIFE" is a masterpiece. Rick Springfield is God.
