It's a day of statewide recognition for one of Rockford's most famous foursomes.
April Fools Day is often filled with cheap tricks and today in Springfield is no different. Last year April first was forever declared Cheap Trick Day in the state of Illinois, and on the first anniversary. Rick Nielson made the trip down to the state capitol to celebrate. The band's lead guitarist toured the capitol building and even demanded the floor in the senate chambers. After tossing a hand full of picks to the state lawmakers.

I remember seeing Cheap Trick in a bar in Rockford during my college days; $2.00 cover, told them we didn't want to pay so they let us in. Great band from a great city with great fans.
