@@Shell6424 i know it's surprising of a reply. How are you doing?

[@eartraffic]

Hey Rick and Tom... the KINETIC PLAYGROUND... :) That was the Electric Theater when I was a kid living in Park Forest. I saw Blue Cheer there in summer of 68. And others. Thanks for the reminder guys. - Jeff (from PEELS band, not Elephants Memory)

[@chriskroll4166]

You saw blue cheer in the summer of 68. Wow you must be at least forty years old. 🤣 I would have died to have seen blue cheer in 68. They would have melted my ears off .

[@hollybischoff7490]

Rick is really good looking

[@gailm9908]

Right. Not only are all four band members talented. I think they are pretty good-looking as well.😢

[@drewbacsi]

Rick was seriously pulling that guy's chain.

[@raydaisiesstudios]

I don't think Rick is annoyed, I think he was just tired from all the touring

[@mariavaldes9146]

Toon pitersom te amo me gusta tu música Dios te bendiga y te regalé muchos años de vidad

[@brittdanielrocks]

🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸 😊

[@irafranklin3959]

I kept on expecting the guy that was asking Rick all of those questions to say " Shit , you're a real cowboy " !!!

[@pwkpilot]

Rick's very last comment at the end says it all.............the interviewer was horrible and unprepared!

[@Hegstuffing]

+pwkpilot Too kind... he was a dick... in my humble opinion.

[@powlperc]

Rockford, did a lot of stuff in Chicago

[@shelley9000]

@cubsjimmy Ultra-great interview!!! :)

[@brittdanielrocks]

🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸 😊

[@cathystrachan4403]

Tom is a total babe

[@MrPhotodoc]

Rick "Old Grumpy" Nielsen was well behaved there.

[@ASide45]

I agree with Rick about the black church. I played Black Gospel bass for ten years, (I was even the only white guy in some of those churches).

[@shawnecarmichael8267]

Chicago?? Rockford

[@sherrydrake4973]

Where's that yummy Robin Zander?

[@brittdanielrocks]

🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸 😊

[@jimsonbrown9768]

Cheap trick. Always the most uncomfortable interviews ever.

[@BonnieK80]

Not at all☺️ They’re just very smart with a sarcastic great sense of humor They really just always want to play but know interviews is part of the gig…I love their interviews…always entertaining, informative and true to themselves 🤘🖤

[@jamesha175]

shoulder pads!

[@emidore]

The interviewer probably wanted Rick to strip down to see what Rick has...just like the little kid who wants to see the man inside of the Big Bird costume....i.e. "Let's see the magic."

[@bedwarsgb4523]

Lol
