Other cities such as San Francisco may have woven many threads of rock music into its highly visible youth culture but in Detroit, rock was the youth culture! So, while it's called Detroit, it really began in a thousand garages and basements in a hundred surrounding fringe communities where restless teenagers reacted to the British musical invasion pouring out of their AM radios on CKLW and WKNR by picking up instruments and substituting ear-torturing rehearsals for their despair and boredom. home.att.net /~s.m.geer   (4098 words)

St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: The Detroit Tigers The devastation of the economy in Detroit in the late 1970s led to the dispersal of Tiger fans across the country, but the team's popularity in the 1980s was acknowledged when Tom Selleck's Magnum PI character donned the navy blue Tigers cap with the Old English "d" on it. Despite the steady increase in Detroit's black population, throughout the 1960s the team rarely included more than a small handful of black players, among them the city's already established sandlot star Willie Horton. The contradictions of racial politics in Detroit exploded, literally, in the 1967 riots that changed the history of the city. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_g1epc/is_tov/ai_2419100336   (135 words)
