Backstage with Ron Onesti: Show me the (Eddie) Money!
One of the most popular television commercials out today features rock icon Eddie Money as a travel agency owner singing “Two Tickets To Paradise” to a family looking for tickets to a vacation.
The humor of the commercial itself stems from Money holding two plane tickets in his hand and doing the song a cappella in a somewhat inebriated state. A fair representation of a stereotypical rocker of the ’70s and ’80s, this spot proves that comedy was never really meant to be pretty.
I have worked with Eddie on several occasions, most recently two sold out shows at The Arcada Theatre and a corporate event at Universal Studios Orlando just this past weekend.
