We still firmly believe that Annie, Laurie and Lynda would totally drive up from Haddonfield, IL to @TheBratStop to catch a @cheaptrick show in ‘76-‘77. @TheHorrorMaster @pjsolestotally

Let’s remember Steve Albini today and let’s go back to “Heaven Tonight”. @electricalWSOP podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Along with his songwriter partner Tom Kelly… Billy Steinberg wrong some pretty huge hits throughout the 1980s ranging from Madonna’s “Like A Virgin” to “I Touch Myself” by Divinyls. In this anniversary year of THE DOCTOR we remember him (and Tom) for contributing “Kiss Me Red”

It was 48 years ago when Cheap Trick spent Valentine’s weekend at @SoundCityStudio working on HEAVEN TONIGHT. Sandy Skeeter, owner of Sound City, remembers Robin singing “Surrender” on acoustic guitar to her sister, who was working the reception desk, and Rick bringing in candy.

Not only was Jon Brant a great bassist during his time with the band… He also managed to throw a Hail Mary pass for a touchdown against Miami in 1984 before finishing off the year with some shows in Oklahoma and Texas with the band.

It's the year of THE DOCTOR, and we kick off 2026 with a true gem of a tune. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

45 years ago… What were you doing on a Saturday night? The band’s only appearance on @nbcsnl as a musical guest. Host for the night was Karen Black (Park Ridge, IL native). And jazz group the Stanley Clarke Trio was the additional musical guest. youtu.be/jByQuXe3bzM?si=1JGG…

Santa don’t mind a little naughtiness… So, here’s one last episode to stuff in your ears…in Mono and Stereo! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
