I am a sucker for Motown. Maybe it’s because I’m a fool for my home town Detroit (well, just outside of Detroit, if you want to get technical), a city that is way more alive and vibrant than you would think by listening to anything you hear on TV. Sure, there are lots of places for improvement and it’s got its problems, but there really is so much to see and do, which I’m glad I’ve been able to realize these past few years. In one night downtown, you can hit up Tigers game, then head over to the Museum of Contemporary Art for a high school dance themed dance party (with booze of course), and then head over to Eastern Market for an erotic art show and then close out the night at Cadieux Cafe for some feather bowling. What’s not to love about that? But, despite all the doom and gloom you hear about on TV, nobody can ever take away the fact that Detroit is the home of Motown, and is there really anyone who doesn’t love Motown? I recently caught this FANTASTIC Stevie Wonder cover of the Beatles’ “We Can Work it Out” over at The Stu Reid Experiment and it was love at first listen. Head over to his site to hear Aretha Franklin and Al Green cover the Beatles as well.
