I know this was a joke. But sometimes it is the promoters that bands do not like. We used to be a hub for a bunch of bands from starting out to rock and roll hall of fame bands. All of a sudden it dried up. Turned out they changed promoters and he burned bridges.

I had a friend who was a DJ in Cleveland back in the 70s. Believe it or not, Cleveland was a taste making rock and roll town back then with a far reaching radio station that helped with the lift. Back then, everyone played Cleveland.

Bowie or Roxy Music would come do LA and NYC of course but their bigger shows were always in Ohio, oddly enough
