Flint, Michigan reminds me of two things. Buicks and Grand Funk Railroad.
My father, who would buy a new car every 2 years or less had two Buick automobiles between 1964 and 1967. The first was a '65 Wildcat, followed by a '66 or '67 LeSabre. I never drove either, but my older brother told me that the LeSabre would flat out move! In my opinion, Buick made some nice looking cars. But no longer!
Grand Funk Railroad, though not one of my favorites, was one of the first "Power Bands" to emerge from the 1960's. The fact that they are not in the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" is a travesty.
I long for the good old days, when you could tell the year, make and model of a car from a glance a quarter mile away. And when you could hear three chords of a song and know the name and band.
Here's to the good old days!
