From Detroit came some amazing talent...and can’t forget The Motor City MOTOWN WOW.

British invasion was awesome too. I even enjoyed the surf music out west and the east & west coast rappers...the jazz...the classics...the...ALL enjoyable...around the world...even the throat singers.

I would have sworn I saw Mr. Cooper at an old Irish Pub called Lis Doon Varna (Now closed and the glorious building now demolished.) I would have said "Hello" but it looked like he was enjoying some friends and I didn't want to be intrusive. Plus we had been drinking several superb Whiskey Sours made from scratch and better judgement won out.

We had, actually, two musical movements going on at the same time — Motown and hard rock — and they both got along very well together.

There was also the small but influential Fortune Records diskery, home of Nolan Strong & the Diablos, Andre Williams & the Don Juans and Nathaniel Mayer.

Another small but influential diskery in Detroit was Lu Pine Records, home of the Primettes, better known as the Supremes, the Falcons, featuring lead singer Wilson Pickett, and the Minor Chords.

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!”
