Another Townshend birthday treat… Let’s not forget the time when Rick was Townshend’s guitar roadie at The Who’s show at the International Amphitheater in Chicago on 12/9/1979. Rick handed Pete his Gibson Les Paul Deluxe No. 8 to play on “Drowned” from QUADROPHENIA.

Add Billy Preston on live piano solo and ya got a #1 Single!

“I’ll Be With You Tonight”

We salute Alice Cooper for giving this ONE ON ONE gem a little air play on 97.1 The Drive just now.

It’s back-to-school time!!! What are you blasting out the speakers today?

Front loaded with hits.

Good evening….morning….from Tower Records in Shibuya, Tokyo. Cheap Trick ARE big in Japan! And that’s a promo sign for the band’s show at the Budokan on October 1. Thanks to listener William Bill for the photo! タワーレコード渋谷店

Spotted at the タワーレコード渋谷店 (now Monday morning by listener William Bill). Say goodbye, Japan. One final time at Budokan.

Official CD releases… 3,000 Yen ($20.28 USD) each. Anyone charging a fan $100, $200, $400 on these CDs should wake up every morning in a bed filled with kitty litter. Thanks to listener William Bill for bringing back the goods! タワーレコード渋谷店

For Riot Fest 2026… 10 random bands each take 1 song from Cheap Trick’s 1986 album THE DOCTOR to perform on stage.

Someone gave Liam Gallagher the wrong copy of ONE ON ONE.

A Friday night… In a cabin the woods…

We agree Noel Gallagher

Meanwhile Robin Zander is backstage saying, “Hold my Heineken and pack of smokes. I’m about to sing I DIG GO-GO GIRLS.”

We’re checking the laundry later today…
