Visit Cleveland commercial !

[Dave W]

I guess he knew a good opportunity when he saw it.

I found this out on Ian' website:
Written as 'Cleveland Rocks' recorded first as 'England Rocks' then recorded as 'Cleveland Rocks'. It as just a fluke of timing recording wise that 'England Rocks' came first. And that's the truth.

Later to be immortalized into a dance number by Drew Carry-

I was just there last weekend visiting family.

[Highlander]

My buddy is/was a big fan of Mr Farve... Nothing like chewing ones own foot off, Pilgrim...

When I saw him (Mr Hunter) it was "Hammersmith Rocks"... 

[Dave W]

So he'll adapt it to three-syllable place names too.

I've seen Hunter twice (both times with the late great Mick Ronson) in Frankfurt and New York and guess what he would sing respectively? Still love that song and whenever I hear Cleveland, I think of the song. Scott Weiland has tipped a hat to the city on his recent (and excellent and eclectic) solo album: "Missing Cleveland". Very catchy too.

One thing Cleveland be proud of is its support of Rock music IT HAD (not really now). It really is a nice place (not downtown).

It just has its share of embarrassment, like the river, the Browns, Indians & Cavilers. But Chicago has its Cubs, a bigger let down team than any other in any sport.

there is a certain cubbie charm that extends way beyond chicago, even among people that are not rabid baseball fans. that's why the cubs can draw huge crowds even when they are 50 games out of first. everyone loves an underdog. besides, they have a cute name.

[Highlander]

any other city names...? "Light's out" (in London)...? "Have you ever been to Pittsburgh" (not a polite song)... and the classic, "New York, New York"...

[nofi]

bad co. and little feat both did songs about atlanta.

Hey, what can I say, I am from Texas after all
