Here's the facts, from the girl that interviewed "Cheap Trick" in 1977 at 20 yrs. young. This was probably one of my first interviews ever, and my first interview with a famous band. Since the early 90's I have hosted/produced a TV and Radio (LATalkRadio) talk show called "Out of the Blue" on animals, the environment & spirituality. Now, 38 yrs. after the interview with Cheap Trick, I believe I am an ass-kickin' interviewer. So watch the stones you through May bounce back and hit you!😇

Not a bad interview, IMO. You'll have to forgive the written notes - this was before every little podunk station had teleprompters. The interviewer obviously did at least some research before the interview and tried to roll with the non sequitors. She was outnumbered and tried to think on her feet, and actually got some interesting questions out. I think Rick was channelling Lennon and felt he had to answer every question with a witty quip.

Rockford is NOT Chicago but has its own history & identification.

I am a big fan of Cheap Trick. Rick often says his parents were opera singers. Is that really true or is it another one of his many jokes? He even called Sydney Opera house his "apartment"... In one of their songs there is a melody from "Il Trovatore" by Giuseppe verdi. Because I am a classical singer that is very amusing to me. In this interview Rick is telling so many jokes and questionable "facts". Now we can laugh about it but was that a "cheap trick"? I presume he was a naughty child. I really believed that Bun.E. was born in Venezuela. Was that also a "cheap trick"? Anyway, I love them and Cheap Trick forever!
