Richard Marx Spent an Evening Drunk Tweeting and Now You Remember Him Again

If you’re like us, you completely forgot about Richard Marx. He was super hot in the ’80s and brought us saxophone-filled, awkward slow dance hits like ‘Hold On To the Nights,’ ‘Right Here Waiting’ and ‘Endless Summer Nights.’

But these days, he just plays casinos and music festivals and really you could’ve probably played a cruel prank and convinced us he died years ago and we’d have been none the wiser.

Until he spent Wednesday night drunk tweeting from a hotel room. And now we can’t forget that endless Fall night. Although he probably did.

He shoulda known better.

Marx was apparently in Florida to play a show midweek. He spent his first several hours there tweeting incessantly at American Airlines about how disappointed he was that they lost his luggage — even going so far as to compare the ordeal to being sodomized with billiard implements.

Flying @americanair is like getting a colonoscopy with a pool cue.

But, after the show, he decided having a few spirits would lift his. And so he started drinking. And drinking. And drinking.

And then he started tweeting. And tweeting. And tweeting.

Nineteen drunk tweets, to be exact. But, since he was drinking the whole time – based on all the pictures he posted of him with wine – we’re sure the tweets don’t mean nothin’.

He invited us to party:

Hey you guys…party in my room!!!!

He made amends with American Airlines:

I’m so drunk right now I just re-enrolled in the mileage plus crap from @americanair

He had some wine:

Just posted a sweet-ass photo. twitter.com/richardmarx/st…

— Richard Marx (@richardmarx) November 29, 2012

 

He ran out of wine:

Nnnnnooooooooool!!!!!!!! twitter.com/richardmarx/st…

— Richard Marx (@richardmarx) November 29, 2012

 

He found some more wine:

Whew…. twitter.com/richardmarx/st…

— Richard Marx (@richardmarx) November 29, 2012

 

He considered a new project:

I’m so drunk right now I’m strongly considering recording a new solo album.

— Richard Marx (@richardmarx) November 29, 2012

 

He almost gave up singing:

Right. Screw the songwriting and singing. I just needed to be a drunken asshole.

— Richard Marx (@richardmarx) November 29, 2012

 

He teased country star Blake Shelton:

I’m so drunk right now @blakeshelton would be, like..”Dude…chill.”

His manager called:

Cell phone just rang. Manager (watching me on Twitter) on caller ID. Me: “And THIS was the call I was expecting!!!!!!”

— Richard Marx (@richardmarx) November 29, 2012

 

And the manager seemed more worried about Richard’s career than Richard himself:

OMG it’s so fun to be on Twitter when you don’t have a career to worry about protecting!!!!!

— Richard Marx (@richardmarx) November 29, 2012

 

He had an all-around good time:

Weeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

— Richard Marx (@richardmarx) November 29, 2012

 

And then he invited us all for hangover food:

Who’s meeting me for iced mochas and scones in the morning?

— Richard Marx (@richardmarx) November 29, 2012

 

But we’re not sure he’s going to hold onto the memory:

Wait…what? Did something happen last night?

— Richard Marx (@richardmarx) November 29, 2012

 

The man is actually a genius. A drunken genius, but a genius nonetheless. He just released a Christmas album and now he’s made some buzz for it – while he was buzzed.

If you need some good Twitter entertainment, we’re sure he’s right there waiting for you.

Way to make us love you again, forgotten ’80s celeb.
