On April 1 we traditionally celebrate April Fool's Day but in the state of Illinois that is not the case. Since 2007 April 1 has been knows as Cheap Trick day in honor of the band that started in Rockford, Illinois in the early 1970's. April 1 is an appropriate day not just for the bands name but because of some of the antics lead guitarist Rick Nielsen does while they preforming on stage.
