No they weren't funky enough for me, to pretty to jive. I was not into Mowtown. Stax Volt was my brand. No legend but I played along side of Junior Walker, Otis, Pickett and others. I agree that the slums were bad but there wasn't the violence and families were tight not broken up. Black economist Walter Williams expressed it best. He grew up in the projects of Philadelphia and remarked that as a kid on a hot summer night you would go outside and the old guys would be playing chess and checkers. Poor yes but not killing each other not afraid of your neighbor. By the way flap I have been very poor in life and poverty does not bother me violence does. In reality all people need is food shelter and that is sufficient. It should be the job of the government to as far as possible ensure that people are safe in their homes and in the streets. It is very sad that one segment of our society lives in fear of bullets and drug gangs.
