Shooting Cheap Trick from below the stage. Took a quick look to be sure my settings were right when something struck me on the nose.
Looked up and Rick Nielsen had thrown his guitar pick at me. He was laughing at me. I knew he would not hear me over the music, and with the industrial grade earplugs he had in, so I just mouthed "you son of a bitch" He saw what I said and laughed harder. He also continued to pelt me with picks during the set.

Oh yeah, I know that feeling quite well. Been on the pitch since 69, quit playing at age 44, went over to the dark side and got a whistle.
