Robin Zander, circa 1987; provenance unknown
Robin Zander name banner

Well, I normally use these essays to describe my personal experience with the singer and/or band in question, but I will confess that I don't actually know that much about Cheap Trick. I own a few of their albums but haven't listened to them nearly as much as some other artists--I seem to prefer the stuff they did during a very narrow window of time in the late 80's, and everything else just doesn't pique my interest as much. And while I have seen a scatter of their music videos, I'm sure there are plenty of those I've missed, as well. (I have, however, caught the one for the song "Up The Creek," which I believe is rather rare, and definitely educational; at one point, it features Robin in nothing but a towel, and he's more muscular than you'd think, given how skinny he always looks fully dressed!)

Robin Zander's Astrological Sign

Date of Birth: 23 January, 1953

Western Zodiac: Aquarius (Air)
Chinese Zodiac: Dragon (Water)

I don't really know enough about Robin to make any sweeping comments on his personality at this point, but he and I do have one thing in common: I was born in a Dragon year as well, though my Element is Wood rather than Water. And Dragons are described as "magnetic," and Aquarians as very creative, so he does seem to fit in with what one would expect, at least on first blush...

The Chord & Sorcery Angle

If Robin Zander were a character in a fantasy novel, he would be:

A highborn, of somewhere like the Italian principalities of the Renaissance... the kind of person that everyone thinks is a bit of a fop until they see him in action with a rapier...

The fantasy/period outfit I would most like to see Robin Zander model is:

Something reminiscent of the abovementioned Italian Renaissance.
