Fortunately, Las Vegas is buzzing about it (Cheap Trick is on the cover of the latest Las Vegas magazine) and the reviews have been glowingly positive.I had already seen Cheap Trick perform their Sgt.

See that thing up there? That's what we used to call an 8-track tape back in the dark days of the 70's. It was bulky and the format of four equal-length "sides" meant that songs were either put on the tape in a different order from the album or they would fade out in the middle, only to fade back in once the tape moved to the next "track" (it was called 8-track, but it was really four stereo t...

That's the name for their new 13-song album- their first since Rockford came out on 6/6/06- set for release on 6/23/09 from www.cheaptrick.com and www.amazon.com. Sick Man of Europe is their first single from it and, in contrast to the album title, the song title is pretty old- it was the name of the group before they became Cheap Trick.

The video of the concert- the concert- was only shown once- on Japanese TV and never here in the US.It was worth the wait. I know the list price of $49.99 is steep and you probably already have the Budokan CD but I found it for under $30 by scanning my favo...
So with my last post I seem to have struck a nerve with my fellow mogsters. Can a music collection make or break a relationship. Now I ask, lets say you are a few dates into this new found love, and you want that special person to really get to know who you are. What do you do, well of course you make them a mix tape. Ok, I just dated myself by saying tape, so I will say mix cd. Seeing most mix...
So what inspires your MOG love? And why? What gets you to jump onto a fellow MOGger's thread? What kind of post elicits a comment from you? Need to express solidarity with someone else who just "gets" a favorite artist of yours? Compelled to swap anecdotes or answer a query? Why do you come back here to read, listen, look, post and comment, day after day, week after week?Inquiring MOGs want to ...
I was not/(am not) a big **Cheap Trick** fan, but this song has rocked my world for a long time.For my money, they became cartoon characters as their career progressed.But on this track they rock like bona fide rockers, ??not?? caricatures.

Wouldn't Preston Tucker be proud? Talk about gettin' too big fer your britches...The splintering of auto giant GM will shower us with toothpicks for decades, I'm sure. It'll over-burden the already bloated health care system, as well as offer retailer Walmart some brand new work force candidates.Hummer? Sold to China!GM, which filed for bankruptcy court protection on Monday, has said it plans t...
