Cheap Trick Day *** UPDATED x1 ***
Wednesday, Apr 1, 2009 - Posted by Rich Miller * Today is officially “Cheap Trick Day” in Illinois. The holiday was established last year during a Statehouse visit by band founder and guitarist Rick Nielsen. Sen. Dave Syverson (R-Rockford) told me yesterday that Nielsen and perhaps at least one other band member will be in town again this morning. So, here’s a video in honor of the day and the band. Turn it up.. *** UPDATE *** Nielsen has been spotted in the building.

Cheap Trick has always been a class act.

I was lucky enough to see them at the Armory in Springfield in 1978. Great Show.

4 years ago, Nielsen was in TV ads for the Rockford mayor’s race (for independent candidate and winner Morrissey). I have not seen him this year. Where does he stand? This is a very important issue, of course.

You gotta be impressed by a large boned drummer who smokes while he plays.
