a song about the French street names in Detroit
Jack: "This one is about streets your parents might used to live in,
because I know most of ya are north of 8 mile now. And your parents might
used to live in a street that they have no idea what the name of it was,
and what it meant, and what is the history behind it. So welcome to it.
Welcome to your family history and welcome to Mr. George Washington
helping you out. Starting this country for ya, and now you have roads and
potholes to complain about."
