Rock & Roll, Machineguns and Batcopters, Oh My!

My week-old sunburn glad for the setting sun
TAMPA FAIRGROUNDS- Dispatch from the Funshine Music Festival: Rick Nielsen hates guitar picks. At least while Cheap Trick's head shredder bounced and dipped all over the stage he was doing his damnedest to get rid of the things. Hundreds and hundreds of picks. Handfuls. Armfuls. Rick shops at the Guitar Pick Warehouse. It's down route 60, in the pick district. 

He seems like the kind of fun grandpa that pulls a quarter from your kid's ear, then pinches your wife's ass and you thank him for it.
