Mike Polk Jr. has some thoughts on Billy Joel, Rod Stewart Cleveland concert announcement

Here's what Mike Polk Jr. has to say about the much-hyped Billy Joel and Rod Stewart concert coming this summer to Cleveland... After days of expectation-building and speculation regarding the details of a huge, forthcoming concert at Cleveland Browns Stadium, a group of local dignitaries — including Mayor Justin Bibb and big wigs from The Haslam Sports Group, Destination Cleveland, the Rock Hall, and more — converged for a much-anticipated press conference to make the reveal. Given the hype leading up to this and the importance of the people in attendance, we knew this news had to be big, right? Would it be a modern, Cleveland version of 1985’s Live Aid, featuring every currently popular musical act converging together? Did some Cleveland Clinic researchers manage to clone Mozart, and would Wolfgang himself appear at the podium to announce that he'd be launching his upcoming tour from Cleveland out of appreciation? Nope. Turns out, Mayor Bibb announced that Billy Joel and Rod Stewart are coming to town for a joint stadium performance on Friday, Sept. 13. Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Billy and Rod are no strangers to town, of course. Billy Joel last played Cleveland in 2017 at Progressive Field, and Rod Stewart played Blossom less than two years ago. But now, they're coming together. And that was the announcement, which is cool. Let's get this out of the way first: This is great. It's great for the city. These guys are genuine legends, and I personally love them. Billy Joel was actually my very first concert. I saw him as a child at Richfield Coliseum. Still have the ticket.
