Motown. Motor City. The D. Rock City.
The list kind of goes on with nicknames for Detroit and lately it seems people have been fighting back the negative images often associated with the city.
Film companies and TV shows have been taking advantage of the opportunites here, Johnny Knoxville went on his own little Motor City Tour and of course you have the douzens of blogs that help promote and support the city in some kind of way.
Eminem did it in "Beautiful" and Kid Rock did it with "Roll On" and Pato Margetic keeps the support going with this video for his song "Detroit". Besides the song itself acting as an ode to the city, the video captures some pretty great shots of familiar and less-known places in Motown.
I sort of stumbled across him (sort of had him pushed in my face), he's a rather talented musician from with a pretty awesome voice.
He released his album 'On My Own' this year and I must say I'm quite pissed I let this guy slip under the radar for so long.
Point is, Pato Margetic is kind of awesome, someone you should watch out for and you can begin by watching his video and seeing what you recognize (or what you don't).
