cheap trick

Baltimore Civic Center, June 1979

 

I was not a groupie. I was just a little girl who really liked music. My girlfriend and I drove to the Civic Center (OK, so we were 17; what's your point?), where Cheap Trick were opening for UFO and Rush. (Rush. Blech!) While Rush played, we were the only people at the backstage door. (I don't even know how we could find it.)

 

Rick was my pen pal. He saw my Pen Pal ad in the back of Rock Scene magazine and sent me a post card. (That's where us crazy music people got pen pals; it was sort of like My Space without the technology.)

 

In the top picture, Robin is signing the autograph you see on the right. "I love you." Ha.

 

Rick had it right. I was their #1 Fan, but not only in Baltimore.
