In recent months I wondered what happened to him. Lakha’s story is an important celebration of a New America. Miller had left his job as a vice president at Leo Burnett Worldwide in Chicago. When he sold Biddy’s he mentored new owner Mike Miller (no relation to the Delilah’s owner of the same name) who had never run a music venue.
He was a young immigrant from Pakistan who owned a blues-and-rock club with an Irish name in predominantly Jewish Rogers Park.
