It's not just the winning record. Not just Matthew Stafford's 5,000 yards, the amazing athleticism of Calvin Johnson or the Superman strength of Ndamukong Suh.

It's everything that's been thrown at your hometown for the past decade. It's what the rest of the nation has been thinking and saying about you and your town. The way "Detroit" has become a slur, an insult, the lowest place you could accuse someone of being from. The "Why would you live there?" look. The sneer.

yes yes yes.

There are many similarities (weather NOT being one of them)

I love Detroit as a city - and when it comes to music there are really only two cities (sorry Nashville and NYC you are where money is made off of music where music is made)

Detroit and New Orleans - the two have truly defined the sound of America.
