Detroit
is both a motherfucker and a home to motherfuckers. It's a rock
n roll riot town of the imagination. It's badass and lawless, a
place that exalts pandemonium and solid gold righteousness. Bring
it on, brothers and sisters.
Detroit Motherfucker The Stooges are a local band. People know about The Stooges. They are folk heroes. You can talk to people in the street about The Stooges, they'll tell you stupid stories about them. You can make a passing reference about The Stooges and your listeners will understand you. The Stooges are part of the public consciousness of Detroit. Stooges energy is real in this place. AAAALLLLRIIIIGHHHHTTT!!! The White Stripes suck shit though, nobody digs them. Detroit Motherfucker The MC5 are a local band. People know about The MC5. They are folk heroes. You can talk to people in the street about The MC5, they'll tell you stupid stories about them. You can make a passing reference about The MC5 and your listeners will understand you. The MC5 are part of the public consciousness of Detroit. Kick out the jams motherfuckers! AAAALLLLRIIIIGHHHHTTT!!! Madonna says she's from Detroit but she ain't. She's from Bay City, over a hundred miles away, past Flint, the most fucked up town going, past Saginaw, from the Simon and Garfunkel song. Detroit Motherfucker The White Panthers are local...oh, you know the rest. For a time the Panther life, black and white, was a real proposition in this town. Do you need to know more? Get a copy of Music is Revolution. Detroit Motherfucker Shirley Muldowney's pink fireproof drag racing suit is on display at the Detroit Historical Museum. This is the kind of history that I like best. Detroit Motherfucker Michigan is the fattest state in the union, apparently, and it feels great to be amongst My People. My averagely medium-sized boyfriend can't get stuff to fit him (haw haw, no mercy from me, now you know what it feels like to be a wrong-sized freak) everything is big-size, even high concept art. I wear my Peanut Butter Motherfucker t-shirt wherever I can. I got it from Book Beat, the fabulous and chaotic shop run by Carey Loren from Destroy All Monsters. He sold it to me, he dug it out from a dusty forgotten box. Peanut Butter Motherfucker is an imaginary candy bar, invented for an art installation. I think it comes from a rhyme that the sweet little kiddies used to sing in Detroit. It goes: "Peanut butter, motherfucker, two time bitch, you mess around with me you get your ass kicked." Detroit Motherfucker The Trumbullplex is a radical anarchist centre in a big old house. We pick up a flyer for a gig there in aid of urban gardens. We see a couple of hardcore bands. Kids drink, some look drug-fucked. Motherfuckers live on. |
