Emotional day in court for Rick Springfield in butt-injury lawsuit


SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Rick Springfield yelled and cried while on the witness stand this afternoon for the retrial of an injury lawsuit against him.

Vicki Calcagno, 45, of Liverpool, said Springfield, a 1980s pop icon and actor, struck her with his buttocks while performing in the crowd during a 2004 Chevrolet Court concert at the State Fair. She said she was knocked unconscious.

Calcagno's lawyer, Kenneth Goldblatt, called Springfield to the stand at about 2:30 p.m. Springfield accused Goldblatt of being "very aggressive" with his questions and later raised his voice and pointed at Goldblatt. Springfield said he felt that he was being called a liar.

Springfield was emotional again when his lawyer, John Pfeifer, asked him about going out into the audience to be closer to his fans. Springfield choked up and was given a tissue for his tears.

Calcagno claims that Springfield struck her while performing in the crowd during an Aug. 28, 2004 concert at Chevy Court. His buttocks caused "serious, disabling and permanent injuries," according to her 2007 lawsuit. ..................(more)

4. Not sure whether you're being sarcastic about Jessie's Girl being "complex" but ...

I have always been a sucker for crisply played power pop like that. I remember really liking several of Rick's songs. It's a wonder I never bought one of his albums. Especially the ones with a dog on the cover.

6. He had a concert that would show on cable tv during that time, and I enjoyed it.

At least he could play an instrument!

5. It's a hazard.

I got stuck paying a $1400 body shop bill the time Rick Sprigfield's buttocks hit my old Pontiac Grand Prix.
