Cheap Trick Day *** UPDATED x1 ***

Posted in:

• Illinois

* 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.

6. 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.

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