it's a fun site. one of the interesting comments from rick springfield's bio - it says he had an eight-month fling with barbara porter that ended in 1982.
from the article: More recently, he had an eight month romance with a recording studio secretary named Barbara Porter. "My working so hard just added too much strain," Rick says of his broken romance with Barbara. "Other people have solved the problem, but right now I can't."
if you look at his bio on imdb, though, he married barbara in 1984 and they have been together ever since!
