Born on this day in 1948, Richard Alan Nielsen (aka Rick Nielsen), the lead guitarist, backing vocalist, and primary songwriter of Cheap Trick, turns 76.
In his honor, check out my interview with Rick (and Robin Zander) from a sweltering day in August of 2017 at Starplex Pavilion during Bo & Jim Bash 6. You may have to crank the volume up a bit, but you'll discover how many guitars Rick owns, and why he missed the birth of his own son.
