With so many celebrities developing hotels these days, you may not remember that a just under a year ago, Cheap Trick guitarist Rick Nielsen announced he and builder Brent Johnson were in talks to develop a guitar museum attached to a Hyatt Place Hotel in Rick's hometown of Rockford, IL.
"It's going to be garish, over the top, disgusting," Nielsen told the Rockford Register Star at the time. Following that appealing description, you may be shocked to learn what happened next.
Nothing, apparently. We can't find any info about the proposed project on Hyatt's web site or the Internets.
The project had the city's backing, according to the Rockford Register Star, so short of a much-needed Cheap Trick reunion tour pulling Nielsen in a different direction, we wonder what could have happened to stall the project.
If you've got an inclination, let us know, because we're just dying to lay our head next to some place garish and disgusting.
