Eddie Money Talks to Switched About Tech

by Joshua Fruhlinger on August 17, 2007 at 02:03 PM

Eddie Money
Did you know Eddie Money was, at one time, training to be a police officer in the early 1970s? Yup. Before writing "Two Tickets to Paradise," Money was going to be a New York City cop just like his dad. We all know Eddie Money as the rocker who sprinkled the '70s and '80s with plenty of top-ten hits. Turns out Eddie Money is no stranger to tech, either -- he's addicted to his cell phone and is already all over the Apple iPhone.

But Eddie's not done, and he recently released "Wanna Go Back," his latest CD that contains 12 new recordings of classic hits. He's also on tour right now -- check dates near you at his official website. Before he launched his tour, though, Eddie was nice enough to talk to Switched about his tech life, and the answers are below.

What gadgets do you always bring with you on the road?

My Cellphone.

What cell phone do you have right now and what do you love/hate about it?

Nokia. I love the predictive text.

Who's the last person you sent a text message to and what was it about?

My wife, with me apologizing for something, as usual

Where do you go pretty much every time you get online?

I do not do "online". I have a task force that deals with that for me.

What annoys you most about your iPod, cell phone, or laptop (or any other gadget)?

My cellphone rings too much, and always at an inconvenient time.

Name one thing you wish your cell phone could do that it doesn¹t do now?

My cellphone does not do email, or if it does, I can't figure it out.

What upcoming gadget can you not wait to get your hands on?

Apple's iPhone.

You're stranded on a desert island: What gadget do you bring?

Cell phone, because it's become my lifeline.

What's the most-played song or artist on your iPod?

Ask my kids, I don't have an iPod.

Blackberry, Sidekick, or Treo?

Blackberry, I suppose.

Are you getting an iPhone. If so, why?

Yes to the iPhone. Maybe I can figure out the e-mail thing.

What's the longest time you've ever spent playing a video game in one sitting and what game was it?

I'm not into video games. I hate to lose.
