Cleveland get a bit of an undue bad rap for this; river and harbor fires were pretty common throughout the industrial mid-west and northeast. Cleveland is only well know for it because its mayor at the time, Carl Stokes, publicized the fires to convince the federal government to help pay to clean up the river. Stokes’s efforts eventually led to the passage of the Clean Water Act and the establishment of the EPA.

Gotta give a shout out to Hugh. Clairvoyant are we? Considering the ghastly comments coming out of a certain political campaign and supporters, I believe this song to be more apt.

“Cuyahoga” has always been one of my favorite REM tunes as well as “Fall On Me”.I have three different versions of “Cuyahoga” on my ipod. All equally great. I think “Life’s Rich Pageant” is one great album, or cassette, or CD, or download as the case may be.

The Cuyahoga is also brought up in the new Luke Doucet song “Cleveland” on his new “Blood’s Too Rich” CD.

As a long-time REM fan, Cuyahoga remains one of my favorites. Maybe you could throw a little love to Exhuming McCarthy?
