Well, being from Indiana, I surely know the difference between Cleveland and Cincinnati. I just thought Springer was from the former. As for the difference between Brazilians and Mexicans, I think one is good at soccer and the other is in South America. Am I right?

Don't worry about him, Orlando. Some people are just sensitive. Like Brazilians that get all pissy when I call them Mexicans. Sheesh. Close enough, right?

From TIME Magazine:

Ostensibly, the city was selected because it's the place where local deejay Alan Freed popularized the term rock 'n' roll in the early 1950s; perhaps more important, local leaders, eager for a tourist attraction, raised $65 million in public funds to help build the hall. "It wasn't Alan Freed. It was $65 million," says Cleveland Plain Dealer music critic Michael Norman. "Cleveland wanted it here and put up the money."

Who the hell is Jerry Springer?

Oh, right. That TV guy who used to be mayor of Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, people.

Here's some help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cincinnati

What's the difference? About 250 miles. American League or National League. Sharing a border with Kentucky (Cincy) or viewing a magnificent freshwater lake (us). Also, we vote blue and they vote red. Bozos.

I've never been. For all I know, Cincy IS on fire.

Oh, and Cleveland got the Rock Hall because the first "rock and roll" radio program was here. The DJ Alan Freed invented Rock and Roll as a radio format (and as a separate genre with its own name).

I never understood how Cleveland got the Rock-and-Roll Hall of Fame anyhow. Did Jerry Springer have a band that I don't know about?
