Rick Nielsen

My first concert ever was Cheap Trick at what was then Quincy College. Little did I know I would see not just Cheap Trick, but the guitarist who just might be responsible for the best pizza in Illinois. I'll try to prove it with science and a few opinions, too.

It is well known in the Rock-n-Roll business that Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen has one of the most sought-after guitar collections in the entire world.

We love a Rockford reference on a National TV show!

Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen, besides being blessed with many musical talents, he's also blessed with a wonderful family, who's with him wherever he goes.

With a gambling bill passed by Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, an announcement will come Tuesday of a proposal for a Hard Rock Casino Rockford.

For the last couple of days, Rockford and this man have been in the same sentences. Sightings reported too, most recently eating dinner at Taco Betty's.

If you are planning on attending a show and sit in the nose bleed section of the Coronado performing Arts Center, you will notice one seat clearly stands out from all the rest, and with good reason.
