The heart of rock & roll is still beating...

...in Cleveland!

The Angles of Music are watching over me. Huey Lewis and the News had me dancing in the aisle, SIXTH ROW CENTER, sweating my ass off. And the best part was that it was FREE!!

After I signed off from my last update, I went over to the ticket window to buy me a ticket for the show when a family approached me asking me if I wanted a pair of tickets. They already had other tickets and didn't need the ones they had. I was ready to ask them how much they wanted for them when he just gave them to me. Holy Crap!!

I was walking back to my car to change my clothes and put on some deodorant when some guy asked me if I had extra tickets.

"As a matter of fact I do. Here you go. See you inside."

The venue's stage backs right up to the river with the Cleveland downtown skyline as it's backdrop. It was pretty small, about one third the size of the PNC Bank Arts Center in Homedel, NJ and not all the seats were filled, but Huey was on fire and was determined on getting every person in the crowd on their feet.

The most beautiful moment is when the sky darkened and the lights of city help light the stage.

I have had a fantastic day and I'm sorry to have to call it an end, but I'm sweaty and gross and I still don't have a place to sleep tonight. So I'll hop back in the car, head out of town and find somewhere to spend the night. Cleveland, you've shown me a wonderful time.

THANK YOU, GOOD NIGHT!
