America should hang it's head in shame for allowing Detroit to become what it is today. Yes, in many ways it's their own fault, but a terrible beauty has been left in ruins, Rock on Detroit, and may I live to see it rise again!
Yeah, definitely about the oligopoly of Ford, General Motors, and Crystler. The song alludes to Preston Tucker, a rugged individualist confronted with huge entry barriers by The Big Three who wanted to enter the vehicle industry, when it says, "the motor's runnin' on Tucker's blood".
while we are giving suggestions, my vote goes for the Big Three from the Yalta Conference. Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin. that CLEARLY makes the most sense.
nah it is definetly about the big 3 automobile manufacturers and how they cut and run from Detroit (where the white stripes are from)leaving many familys unemployed hence 'the big 3 killed my baby'
I got here from viewing abandoned Detroit vids. reminded me of this track SO RAW!!
