Unique submitted by kencza on July 18, 2019, 9:28pm He came a long way, stayed true to himself, and continued to morph. Chronicles underground music in some dark places in Detroit and Hamtramck in the 90's and how single mindedness and energy can make dreams come true. You CAN do things your way and succeed.....fascinating story with lots of names and detail.
