The Rob Bartlett Radio Comedy Hour

In this Season Finale 'Best Of The Radio Hour' Episode, The Robio has edited and combined both parts of his interview with the Great Rick Nielsen from Cheap Trick. Recorded via Zoom during the Lockdown in October of 2020, Rick tells some AMAZING stories from his long, and (Big Dick Cavett Word Alert) multifarious career. He talks about life on the road, working with legendary producer George Martin, how he came to possess Fats Domino's Gold Record for 'Ain't That A Shame', how his restaurant, Piece, won an award for being one of the 'Top Ten Pizzas in the US', how he came up with the idea for Cheap Trick's iconic anthem 'Surrender', and recording a song with John Lennon for 'Double Fantasy'. Rick and Cheap Trick are currently on tour with Rod Stewart, will embark on their own tour in the UK and Japan, then return to play more shows with Rod in 2023. He has just released his own artisanal vodka, 'Rockin' Vodka', which is winning awards left and right at International Spirits Competitions. A Don't Miss CLASSIC Episode!
