Actually, supposedly he wrote it about his best mate Gary- which is such a typical Aussie blokes name, but he decided that Gary didn't sound sexy enough for the song so changed it to Jessie.
And it's still such a great song and Rick Springfield such a brilliant muso and this song lives on for everyone over here is Oz.
If you've got Iheart radio- or any other digital streaming platform, check out Gold 104.3- the BEST radio station in Melbourne and the best in Australia (if not the world- I reckon) and you'll hear interviews with all of the greats every day- both Aussies and internationals alike.
I was lucky enough to Win tickets to 2 live concerts through them to the Red Hot Summer Tour featuring SIMPLE MINDS, ICEHOUSE, Noiseworks, Daryl Braithwaite, & Bachelor Girl in February and then Human League in March and I had to give them both away as my dad was in Hospital and died...I'm now in the 'Boarding lounge' (short list) to win a 10 day holiday to the Maldives to see Jimmy Barnes, Kate Ceberano, and a bunch of others at this https://www.musicinparadise.com.au/event/stranded-in-the-maldives-with-jimmy-barnes/ and I can't wait to go!
Dad died the day after I was due to fly to Thailand for 3 weeks and I need this getaway so badly....
Anyway, check out Gold, they play the best from around the world!

Cool, I will have to see what I can do. Most of my listening is either on Spotify or Sirius/XM. They have a ton of good shows on there too. Lot's of in depth stuff.
Yeah I have bad FOMO from growing up in a small country town, so I always listen to the radio because I need to hear that there is another world out there- which is probably why I love living in a skyscraper right in the middle of the Melbourne CBD.
And I still listen to the radio! 🤣
I gave up traditional radio a long time ago. I realized that I don't like to hear people talk :) I can appreciate why you gravitate towards it.
Yeah I can totally understand why people do give it up...the constant ads the incessant talking...but with everything, there's always a positive and a negative...and too many to go into....
