I thought it would be the capital of rap noise now.
Used to be Motown, when blacks could sing and had soul.

As I told everybody last night, I was reading in Rolling Stone where they said, “Detroit audiences are the greatest rock & roll audiences in the world.” I thought to myself, “Shit! I’ve known that for ten years!”
— Bob Seger, “Nutbush City Limits”, ‘Live’ Bullet
Yeah but Bob Seger hard rock?
It’s ridiculous that Ted Nugent isn’t in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Bands that OPENED for him:
Bad Company
Rush
Van Halen
AC/DC
Eddie Money
The Scorpions
Def Leppard
Cheap Trick
Montrose
Quiet Riot
All the love to Bob.
But this is about Vincent Furnier (Alice's real name). In the most recent revival of "Jesus Christ Superstar" - watched as I'd never seen it before - the audience went totally apesh!t when he came out as Pontius Pilate, doing the Wayne's World "We're Not Worthy" thing. Stole the play, of course.
Man, Detroit is seven square miles of abandoned auto factories and parts manufactures.
Meanwhile, Cincinnati is the chili capital of the woild. Just ask Ron White.
