Music

• Sunday Morning Playlist: Detroit Rock

  It was the music that accompanied the rapid and painful decline of Detroit as a sophisticated middle class city, 4th largest in the nation in 1960, to a hollowed out shell of its former self, its population nearly halved. It extended to the industrial city of Flint (profiled by Michael Moore in Roger and Me) and Ann Arbor, a campus with a thriving rock scene supported by students of the University of Michigan. In Detroit, the most famed venue was The Grande Ballroom.
