CHEAP TRICK: ART that I was playing around with... I wanted it to look like it was the late 70's into the early 80's... I find I am still stuck there artistically. What was your first song experience with this iconic group known as [drum roll please] CHEAP TRICK!
Mine was this one below... of 1985's "Standing on the Edge"

Wow, Cheap Trick takes me back some. I wanted to thank you Jeremy for your kind word yesterday. They brought touching tears to my eyes.
ReplyDeleteDidn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?

The Dream Police - they live inside of my head!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of them, but it is possible that I've heard their songs :) Sing me something from them :)
ReplyDeleteI Want You to Want Me was my first love. I finally got to see them in concert a couple years ago, although sadly they were the opening act.
ReplyDeleteI have to ask - the music videos you include at the end of your posts, do they have any significance to the post itself in any way?
ReplyDeleteI remember the first time I saw someone playing a two neck guitar....it was Rick Nielsen.
ReplyDeleteGood memories! :)
I want you to want me, is one of my all time favorite songs. Great band.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I never heard of this band. That Cheap Trick day is a good pun.
ReplyDeleteI remember listening to Cheap Trick in the late 70's and sang their songs on the radio as I was driving to and from work...The Flame is a great song.
