Especially among other students, the use of Eminem was very well received; everyone knows he's "from" Detroit and the song of his in the background is perfect. I did hear that the artwork shown was originally intended as anti-auto industry, though. So that seems like kind of an oversight.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12200654242365255172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169807398234019196.post-86983214733851554562011-02-08T10:30:30.300+00:002011-02-08T10:30:30.300+00:00Evidently Kid Rock is the most obvious choice for ...Evidently Kid Rock is the most obvious choice for "famous, from Detroit, and supporting the regeneration of Detroit". However, his audience a bit more "lairy knobhead".
