Comments on: Another Youngstown video… http://www.brewedfreshdaily.com/2008/another-youngstown-video Locally owned and operated from Cleveland, OH since 2002 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 22:07:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Christine Borne http://www.brewedfreshdaily.com/2008/another-youngstown-video/comment-page-1#comment-2518 Christine Borne Mon, 03 Nov 2008 18:37:01 +0000 http://www.brewedfreshdaily.com/?p=446#comment-2518 In one of our many discussions about Cleveland and what's wrong with it, I told my husband that what Cleveland is lacking is a Bruce Springsteen. Someone who can really put down in song - or on paper, or film, or whatever - a semi-mythical sense of *place* about Cleveland, like the Boss did with Asbury Park, New Jersey. Cleveland needs someone who can write an anthem for it, make it into an artistic and universal symbol that means a lot to a lot of people across a broad spectrum -- something that inspires all kinds of passions: anger, ecstasy, regret, nostalgia, hope. Who can make Cleveland a place that people will make pilgrimages to, even,like people will trek across the country to go to the Stone Pony.

I liked him better when he was on the climb and could still relate to the average Joe through personal experience.
