Chicago is a GREAT city - I love it! I'm into blues music and Chicago blues is the best thing to ever happen to music. It's one of the city's gifts to the world, (among many others). That's why I found myself in Chicago on occasion. The media would have you think every city is one or two-dimensional. People who live there know differently. This includes Detroit.
The natl media deals in cliches (keeps things simple for their dumbed-down audience) - every city has its cliche image ("cars, crime & blight" for Detroit). Think about the cliche images we have for other cities, they've all got 'em.
Okay this is a rant, but I think it's pertinent.

What about Motown?

I like Chicago Blues too, but seriously, Motown was more catchy, fun, just as influential, and everyone knows Motown tunes. Blues is a little more afficionado-cult following music. We should be grateful for motown and its influence.

Yep, a little hyperbole in my statement! I said blues because I was involved in it, BUT (and its a BIG but) whenever I hear that Stevie Wonder piano I want to start dancin' - even tho uncoordinated!
