My very first thought was Great! Another hometown guy showing the world what Detroit really is. And then it occurs to me that, like MoTown, techno, house music, and the auto industry *sigh* he'll be a'movin on down the line now. <br /><br />In my own defense when he was playing in Detroit were the years I was mostly gone.<br /><br />BUt I have to admit now that I have heard him and read some of his lyric, he s Detroit. Long great and widely ignored. <br /><br />Much success to him now, may America embrace him as the anti-apartheid movement did thirty years ago.the walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22752109.post-7533567997401030102013-02-17T13:59:57.182-05:002013-02-17T13:59:57.182-05:00When Rodriguez sings of the world, I get the gist:...When Rodriguez sings of the world, I get the gist:<br /><br />"How many times can you wake up in this comic book and plant flowers?"Erik Donald Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02332500850365598564noreply@blogger.com
