Four years ago today we met a young Muslim girl from Cardiff,Wales at a Cheap Trick gig in Bristol,England.
She said she’d heard Cheap Trick on Planet Rock late in the nights when she was secretly listening to the radio.
I say secretly because her parents had forbidden her to listen to rock music or any kind of western music.
She’d told her parents she was staying with friends but had slipped away to see Cheap Trick for the first time.
When Rick Nielsen went walkabout outside the venue before the gig she couldn’t believe he was real.
