"AS" responds to yesterday's post about the Journey song "Don't Stop Believin'". She writes...
"“Just a city boy, born in raised in South Detroit …..”
There is no South Detroit. South Detroit is Windsor, Canada .
Which also reminds me of the old, cheesy 70’s song, The Night Chicago Died. The very first line is “ Dad dy was a cop….on the east side of Chicago.” Evidently, Daddy was on a boat in the middle of Lake Michigan .
Little things like that bug me for some reason. It is interesting that Journey basically wrote that song backwards, which explains the odd formula and the chorus coming at the end of the song. I remember them singing Don’t Stop Believin’ at Rosemont Horizon during the 1981 Escape tour. Steve Perry pointed to Jonathan Cain and sang, “just a city boy, born and raise in South Chicago .” Evidently, Cain IS from Chicago (and was a survivor of the Our Lady of the Angels fire in 1958). A little useless trivia for you."
Thanks "AS." There's no-one who appreciates worthless trivia more than I do.
