Interesting commentary on Northeast Ohio life. Entertainment in and around Cleveland
We’re saddened to report that Mike Smith - member of the Dave Clark Five Band or DC5- has died at age 64 from complications from pneumonia. Smith was the drummer and the leader of the band that gained their popularity in the 60’s and officially disbanded in 1970.
Dave Clark Five Performs Everybody Knows
The Dave Clark Five will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 10, 2008.
Now that the 2007 football season has ended, the Cleveland Browns are switching the team up.
The Browns announced that they’ve acquired Corey Williams in exchange for their second round draft pick for the 2008 season. Williams played for Green Bay as a defensive tackle from 2004-2007.
In his career there, he had 118 tackles - 82 solo tackles and 36 assists. Williams is 27, 6′4″, 313 pounds and attended Arkansas State.
I found a candid video of Corey Williams at Youtube - He seems like a genuine guy that has his heart (and his mind) on football.
I think this addition to the team could be beneficial.. although they had a great season last year, the defense still needs some work.
What are your thoughts on Corey Williams? Are you happy about this decision?
Not only is today a celebration of Leap Year, it’s also Sadie Hawkins Day!
What does this mean? Well, it’s the one time of the year when girls switch roles and ask boys out on a date. It’s also the inspiration for Sadie Hawkins dances all over.
If you’re a single woman, seize this opportunity to ask the man that you’ve been attracted to out on a date.. perhaps it will turn into a “Sadie Hawkins” success story.
The verdict on Bobby Cutts Jr. is in. The 6 man, 6 woman jury recommended “life in prison without parole” for his part in the death of Jessie Marie Davis’ and their unborn child’s life.
He was found guilty on seven charges connected with the crime including child endangering, abuse of a corpse, aggravated murder and burglary.
The judge hasn’t decided if the sentences will run concurrently or will have to be served separately. If it’s a concurrent sentence, the soonest Cutts would be able to walk free would be in 57 years - without parole. Cutts is 30 years old.
Although nothing makes up for the loss of Jessie and her baby girl Chloe, hopefully it will help bring closure to her friends and family.
The big CSU Democratic Presidential Debate took place last night as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama try to secure their position in the primaries.
I think that Hillary sounded a bit more emotional than she needed to and even went so far as to complain about being asked a question first. Watch her carry on below:
One thing I know is that no one likes a complainer or a whiner and Hillary’s outcries over being asked a question first are going to be the thing that sinks her in the end. If she can’t handle a simple question in “live TV” format how will she rule the country?
Answer: She won’t.
What are your thoughts on last night’s debate? Were the candidates able to help you make a decision on who to vote for the Democratic Presidential candidate?
Even though the weather outside is frightful, the Democratic Presidential Debate must go on!

There isn’t that much longer until tonight’s Democratic Presidential debate taking place at 9 PM this evening.
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama come face-to-face to debate at Cleveland State University’s Wolstein Center.
Right now Hillary Clinton is running behind, but Ohio and Texas remain to be won. Tonight is part of the battle for Ohio.
The debate will be broadcast live on NBC stations. It airs from 9-10:30.
With the Primary election looming Presidential candidates and their backers have been all over Ohio in the last few weeks.
Republican Presidential candidate John McCain is going to be appearing at at the Don Umerley Civic Center Memorial Hall in Rocky River and will spend some time in Parma this afternoon meeting his supporters.
Meanwhile, Cleveland State University and downtown Cleveland prepare for tomorrow’s debate between Democratic Presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
