And we’re back…and let’s get right into more song goodness from 2011:
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. - “We Almost Lost Detroit” (Link goes to Spotify)
The band name is certainly goofy and this song is catchy fun, but look below the surface. This Detroit combo takes Gil Scott Heron’s warning about the risks of nuclear power and the near meltdown of the Fermi1 nuclear plant and turns it, perhaps, into an anthem for our current age of rust belt economic uncertainty. We’re now almost in a perpetual state of losing Detroit, both literally and figuratively.
More to come soon.
