Were you there and do you agree?

By the time Meat Loaf's tour came to Blossom Music Center in 1978, his debut album went platinum.

I had the pleasure of working with Pat Dailey around 1999. I believe I was 20 years old. It was the first project I got to be an “executive producer” on. We started an imprint label under Cleveland Intl called, Shot Glass Records and this was the first release. Pop and I met Pat for lunch in Lakewood one afternoon, it may have been Swingos on the lake where we would frequently go and discussed releasing a “Best Of” type record. I remember sitting in that office at our Cleveland Intl hq’s at the old Agora for days going through several cassettes and CDs Pat had given me to listen to. The guy could write just about anything. Great memories at the Beer Barrel Saloon and his home in Put In Bay. Appropriately dubbed, the Jimmy Buffett of the Great Lakes. Songs like Nymphomaniac and Walleye were two of my favorite sing alongs but there was a reason he gained the attention of poet laureates such as Bobby Bare and Shel Silverstein. He was a brilliant all around songwriter. He never did get that big break but he made the best of his career and did very well and was a TRUE independent artist before it was hip to do! After I moved to Nashville we kind of lost contact. He and his wife sent me a beautiful card after Sr. had passed. Lovely man. May his music live on forever. The album we did was called, Pat Dailey Exposed. If you can find it, I recommend it:). RIP Pat.

The irreverent bard's passing was announced on social media by his son. Dailey was a fixture in northern Ohio across multiple decades.

Yesterday was Johnny Cash’s birthday. He would have been 92. This top photo was taken at the Mercury/Polygram office in Nashville circa 1986 or 1987 celebrating Johnny’s birthday. Bottom photo was taken at the Cowboy Arms Hotel and Recording Spa during the Water From the Wells Of Home sessions produced by the late and great, Cowboy Jack Clement. God bless JC.

We love seeing posts like this. Never forget where you come from. We see you Machine Gun Kelly

A huge THANK YOU to the entire Machine Gun Kelly & 27 Club Coffee team; not a lot of people could have pulled off two back to back shows (the second show was almost 2 hours long!) and then an epic party for friends and fam to cap off the night. This will be a mini xxmas we’ll always remember and we’re happy that we could be a part of that!✌🏼

Pictured is Kathy, owner of the Grog, getting our Vans custom shoe signed by Kels. These were created to raise funds for our club during the COVID shutdown in 2020 and we’ve had so many bands and artists sign them during the last three years. Maybe one day they’ll make it into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Thanks again for an epic night! 🙏
