detroit is a Dump

A haiku:

Cleveland is boring.
At least I'm not in Detroit.

Detroit music sure has gone downhill since the good ole days of the Stooges, the MC5 and Blue Cheer.

Because People in power are Stupid:Detroit music sure has gone downhill since the good ole days of the Stooges, the MC5 and Blue Cheer.

Blue Cheer was a San Francisco band. Otherwise, you are correct, sir.

It's normal to think he'd have some harsh feelings for Detroit after the big three killed his baby.

I've had this dream for more than a decade now.

A dream which I've invited you all to share with me.

In six months we begin construction of Delta City, where Old Detroit now stands.

Old Detroit has a cancer.

The cancer is crime.

It must be cut out before we employ the million workers to breathe life back into the city.

You've won my internet.

And my heart.

Pere Ubu took scary old downtown Cleveland, and made it into their playground and inspiration to invent industrial music.

One man's junk is another man's treasure.

I'm surprised the poem is comprised of words, as opposed to random gibberish that doesn't flow. You know, like his music.

Detroit was a disintegrating shiathole before it was cool!

FTW

AK-Rowdy:FTW

The Black Keys were better when they were The White Stripes 5 years ago.

Say what you will about Jack White, but Meg White is pretty enough to make up for any eccentricities of the band.

AK-Rowdy:FTW

I like the way they changed there sound for the new one. I couldn't really handle another super garage/rock/blues album. Psychotic girl is an awesome psychedelic blues song. Good stuff

speaking of psychotic girl, can anyone recommend a band with a similar sound?

You gotta loose your mind in Detroit...Rock City

I've seen Detroit from the (relative) safety of the interstate, when I was driving west. The rest of my mental picture of the city is from all the people telling me how bad it is and in what ways. No Jack White poem (or Jack Black poem, for that matter) will change my mind.

Well if Jack White says it's safe, then that's good enough for me. I'm going to run through the streets of Detroit tonight yelling, "I just won the lottery, biatch! Look at all of this cash!". See you tomorrow.

jerry2a start in the Cass Corridor remember to wear a sign much like Bruce Willis had in "Die Hard 3". FARK party @ the White Castle on 8 Mile & Woodward

Getting a kick because I've worked Downtown for 5 years and haven't been stabbed once.

Akron > Detroit.

Black keys Definitely FTW!
(White Stripes are great as well, just not as great)
