Shutting Detroit Down email this discussion to a friend?

Have you heard the song by John Rich titled "Shutting Detroit Down" if not it is a good one to listen to even if you don't like country music as it explains the mess that we have with our economy right now and I am thankful that someone in the music industry had enough sense and courage about them to do such a song. I think that it is refreshing when someone sees an issue and takes it upon themselves to do something about it.

Thanks for sharing this with all of us. I do not listen to a whole lot of music these days. I haven't heard of this song yet.

It is a good song and if you get a chance to listen to a country station for a day I am sure you will hear it. I bet you could search for it and hear it online too. I think that it is a good song as it really hits home with the way that they are doing the business in Detroit.

I haven't heard it. I guess I will try to find a CW station and see if they play it.

It is a good song! It talks about the auto industry and how they are being shut down and yet the bankers are taking their bonus checks and leaving town. He talks about farmers selling their land while we are bailing out the bankers. It is a good song!

I have not heard it yet. I really should go back to listening to Country Music on the radio. I do not listen to the radio much, and I might have heard it, but usually since my husband can no longer drive, he just listens to his audio books and with me it is the computer and the Tv.
I will have to see if it is on the internet. I do love the songs that tell what is going on.


myLot reputation of 83/100. carolscash (4886)  9 months ago

Yes, I am sure that you can find it on the internet. It is a good song about the auto industry and how they are being shut down and how many of those people have worked that job all their life. I hope you like it.

I have heard it and you are correct. It is an awesome song. John Rich has never been one to back down from anything, and I guess it's a good thing because what he says in this song needed to be said! The one thing about country music is that most of the artists are not afraid to start a fight if one needs to be started!


myLot reputation of 83/100. carolscash (4886)  9 months ago

I will agree with you there. I think that him and Toby Keith are very strong minded about certain subjects and they say what they think. I would like to see a similar song by Toby as I also think it would be a good one. I love his songs and John Rich is good on his own.

havent heard it. sometimes i do listen to country. but it sounds like it could happen from things i've heard on news today.


myLot reputation of 83/100. carolscash (4886)  9 months ago

It is a scary thought. Most of my husbands' work comes from the auto industry and so I am worried about all of this. I hope that the federal bailout will help but I think that more money needs to get into the American citizens pocket for that to happen.
