Seems my book, Cleveland Rock & Roll Memories, is still chugging along.

Here’s the DeRogatis piece that the Sun Times ran April 22. Naturally, it disses Cleveland (Chicago always tries to lord it over its smaller Midwestern sibling). But DeRogatis was nice about my book:

I’m going to the South Euclid City Council tonight to discuss CRRM. The council invited me there because I’m a local guy. It should be interesting. I’ll keep you posted.
