On this episode of Applause we meet a group of therapists at the Art Therapy Studio of Cleveland who provide comfort and joy through the arts. And, look at some of the greatest moments in rock and roll in the new boon, "Cleveland's Rock and Roll Roots." And he's a sharp dresser…his hair glistens in the wind…and he stands THREE STORIES HIGH. In 1994, satirical artist Billie Lawless began work on a mechanical sculpture that he called "The Politician --- A Toy". After years in the rain…and the snow…and the sun, the Politician was starting to look a little shabby, so Lawless has now totally refurbished the piece.
