Second Cheap Trick Day celebration moves to Springfield

Last year, the inaugural Cheap Trick Day was celebrated in Rockford at The Stockholm Inn. The power pop band’s Rockford-area residents guitarist Rick Nielsen and drummer Bun E. Carlos got kudos from politicians and well-wishers at the eatery.
On Wednesday, April 1, also known as April Fools Day and now Cheap Trick Day in Illinois, Nielsen will celebrate the second annual commemoration by flying from Rockford to Springfield. There, with Sen. Dave Syverson (R-Rockford), the originator of the statewide recognition of Cheap Trick Day, Nielsen will meet Gov. Pat Quinn, among doing other things. Road Ranger chief Dan Arnold also will take him to the The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. Arnold is a big Lincoln buff.

Who care’s? This has to be Dave Syverson’s biggest blunder of all times!
With all the economic problems in the state of Illinois, here we are screwing around with a cheap trick day! What a total WASTE OF TIME!
