Motor City Burning Detroit

[Fury13]

No mention of many important acts and genres in this unbalanced piece. As usual, the Brits are trying to rewrite Detroit music history without having lived through it and without having experienced the whole American milieu. They pretty much boil it down to Motown, the MC5, the Stooges, and Alice Cooper. A simplistic, inaccurate portrayal to say the least.

Gee, having never lived in England, I think I'll make a documentary about the Mersey Beat scene but I'll key pretty much only on the Beatles and Stones, but with a lot of emphasis on Screaming Lord Sutch too, because I like him.

Grand Funk were far more popular in their time than the MC5 or Stooges ever were but the 5 and Stooges influenced many more bands than Grand Funk did and continue to do so.
