‘And since we’re talkin’ trash about 80’s rock, I have to brag again that Robin Zander *KISSED* me back when Cheap Trick was a Garage Band! Wa-Hoo! *SMOOCH*’
I remember seeing Cheap Trick at the Electric Ballroom in Milwaukee just before they released their first album.
I walked into a bar in Madison WI in the fall of 1974 and there was a band that had the gimmick of playing the keyboards when the keyboards were on someone’s back. It was Cheap Trick. I thought they sucked then and never felt any different even after they became famous. Just sayin’.
They really were a creative bunch. Nothing cheers me up better than putting on their Greatest Hits CD. Their songs were SUCH a pert of my misspent youth, LOL!
