Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. - We Almost Lost Detroit

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. have always been kinda on the periphery of bands I pay attention to but with this rowdy party jam and accompanying good-time-smiles video I'm increasing their priority ASAP. Plus, you can't argue with a good home-town repping track!

In 1966, the Fermi nuclear power plant outside Detroit suffered a partial meltdown, throwing the city into a panic and later inspiring Gil Scott-Heron to write "We Almost Lost Detroit" to protest unsafe energy. "How would we ever get over / losing our minds?" he asks, wondering how a city that came so close to complete annihilation while DTE Energy continued raking in millions could ever hope to forget it. His solution: you just gotta work. When performing the song in concert, he transcended his anger at nuclear energy fat cats. "They don't care about nobody, but we do," he [...]

Get a glimpse of the culture and the peeps who live in Michigan town via the DALE EARNHARDT JR. JR. 's new video, WE ALMOST LOST DETROIT , and then watch my interview with this duo .

I really like this song. Pretty awesome that a song this good was created for political activism... In the 702s america attempted its first nuclear power reactor and had a partial meltdown. It was poorly repaired and then performance was horrible... This song was a way to put out the message. A few years later, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. decided to cover it. Buy The CD at Easy Street
