GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - An area woman has opted to accept Eddie Money's proposal, the erstwhile singer's lawyer said yesterday.
"Donna Richards, of Grand Rapids, chose to accept Mr. Money's carefully crafted proposal, originally drafted in a 1984 musical composition entitled 'Take Me Home Tonight,'" Money's lawyer, Sal Harding, said.
While the date of the "tonight" in question was not specifically identified in the song, the contractual obligation on the proposal is still open, Harding said, "without being voided."
Money told the Celery Stalk that he was "surprised" when Richards approached him about his proposal, citing that he was under the impression that the language of the text had expired.
"To be honest, I kind of forgot about it. I had given up long ago that someone would take me home tonight," Money said. "But, in light of the situation, I am considering redrafting my proposal entitled 'I Wanna Go Back' and submitting it to [Richards]."
Richards described the fulfillment of the proposal as "satisfactory", despite the fact that it has been open for over twenty years.
"The services rendered by Mr. Money completely satisfy the requirement. I would consider working with Mr. Money in the future," Richards said.
When asked about Money's previous legal problems, Richards said that she had no qualms about Money keeping his obligations.
"I know he was sued for exploitation after he promised two tickets to Paradise and took his girlfriend at the time to Fiji instead, but those were the wild and reckless eighties, and this is a whole new era."
