Luncheon with Springfield on May 8 in Chicago
A second opportunity to meet Springfield will begin at 11:30AM on Thurs., May 8. The Standard Club, 320 South Plymouth Court, in Chicago, hosts a luncheon featuring Springfield. Reservations are required and available through Anderson’s Bookshop, Naperville. A limited number of reservations remain available.
About the Book, Magnificent Vibration: Why are we here? What is love? Is there a loch ness monster? Does God send text messages? These are the kinds of questions Horatio Cotton, aka Bobby, asks in New York Times bestseller Rick Springfield’s debut novel, Magnificent Vibration. After stealing a mysterious self-help book called “Magnificent Vibration: Discover Your True Purpose” from a bookstore, Bobby calls the 1-800 number scrawled inside the front cover, only to discover that he has a direct line to God. This launches Bobby on an unlikely quest, serendipitously accompanied by a breathtakingly sexy and exceedingly sharp travel companion named Alice. Together the pair sets out to find some combination of spiritual and carnal salvation–and possibly save the planet. By turns hilarious, poignant, over-the-top, and deeply meaningful, Magnificent Vibration is a highly original novel about the biggest questions one man–or mankind–has ever asked.
About the Author, Rick Springfield: In the 1980s, singer-songwriter and actor Rick Springfield was celebrated for his megahit single, “Jessie’s Girl,” sold-out concert tours, follow-up hits that sold more than 17 million albums, and by his 12 million daily viewers who avidly tuned in to General Hospital to swoon over his portrayal of the handsome Dr. Noah Drake. Springfield has been writing and performing music for more than four decades. An accomplished actor, he has performed on Broadway, headlined in Las Vegas, and starred in numerous movies and television series; most recently, he played a twisted version of “himself” in Showtime’s hit Californication. He maintains an active touring schedule, playing more than 100 dates per year around the world. He lives in Malibu, California with his wife and family.
