    RS: Tell me about writing “The Heart of Rock & Roll.” I’m a native Clevelander, so I’ve always loved that song.

    HL: We’re from San Francisco, and we think it’s the greatest place in the world. We had heard that Cleveland was this great rock & roll town. I thought, “Cleveland? How can Cleveland be anything? What can they have in Cleveland that we don’t have in San Francisco?” Then we played a gig in Cleveland, I think at the Agora, around 1980. It was a great gig, and the crowd was amazing. We’re driving the next day, and I’m looking at the gray skyline. I sort of absent-mindedly say, “You know guys, the heart of rock & roll really is in Cleveland.” Then I went, “Oh my gosh, that’s a great idea for a song.”

    The other guys said, “The heart of rock & roll is in Cleveland?” So then I rewrote it as “The heart of rock & roll is still beating.” But that was the original idea.

    I didn't say anything bad about Mr Huey or his News.

    Here, maybe this will help.

    Whoa, Hoss...never said you did. I was simply pointing to a cool Rolling Stone article. You should read it.

    Not like mashed potatoes, which blends products. . I still like the original..IMO Actually, one modern day musician who could pull that off is Eddie Vetter from Pearl Jam.

    Another HL&News classic. They had so much energy and professional stage traits, that few bands could duplicate their style.

    We saw them a few times and the best concert was when Huey came into the aisles. He saw my lovely blond wife adoring his presence and gave her a hug. She never forgets it. The band also covered The Boys are Back in Town by Styx. The piano solo in the bridge was so good. Look for that. You'll be impressed.

    It's almost sacrilegious. You can't dilute (mashing) this band with another band. Just my opinion.

    @stampedehero.....here's a song you can share with your bride (who, hopefully, is also your girlfriend) for Valentine's Day. Who doesn't love Sade music...
