After negotiating the 170 mile (or 673,000 Rubik’s Snakes) trip around the left hand corner of Lake Erie, our merry band arrive in Motor City.
Apart from it’s 70% of unsolved murders, Detroit is quite famous for its cars. Local inventors became acutely aware of the strain put upon residents having to walk the whole length of 8 Mile Road with professional shouter M&M even putting his protest in some sweary “poetry”. “Ain't gon' follow no footsteps, I'm makin' my own (Gonna make it, can't give up now) Only way that I know how to escape from this 8 Mile Road”, He yelled over some random music he stole from somewhere. Something had to be done. So local lads, Henry Ford & Ransom Olds, invented some cars to make the arduous trek a lot more entertaining.
There was still something missing though. Car radios had nothing to play. Step forward Berry Gordy whose use of 3 guitars, 2 pianos, multiple backing singers, overdubbed strings & even 2 drum kits during recording meant songs from his record label (Motown) could be heard over the racket of the early combustion engines as they traversed 8 Mile Road each day.
But there’s more to Detroit than just cars & its 70% of unsolved murders. It is the birthplace of perhaps the most famous moustache in show business. Yes, taking his name from sumptuous chocolate coated ice cream on a stick & sparking controversy after choosing an Italian car over an Oldsmobile, Thomas Magnum hails from the city.
It also holds an Olympic record that has yet to be bettered in over 50 years.
There’s plenty to do in the home of carjacking and one of the activities on offer has captured the imaginations of literally dozens of people who revel in the thrill of paying big bucks to be abducted at gunpoint, blindfolded & duct taped to a chair to have Wonderful Christmastime played on a constant loop at them.
After, perhaps opting for the $500 kidnapping package maccatori will no doubt be looking to fill up on Coneys alongside a few Dirty Blondes. Let's hope he has a superb show.
Well, there’s a lot to unpack on this flag isn’t there?
