Then Rolling Stone reported its expected release earlier this summer. Now there are reports on the documentary everywhere -- yesterday in the New York Times, for example. I grew up within a hundred miles of Detroit, and I recall reading some of the Creem issues cover to cover. Max? Did you grow up with this as well?? |

I was born in Detroit, but moved to Wisconsin in 1958 when I was nine years old. We kept going back to Detroit to visit every summer until I finished high school, but I never encountered Creem Magazine. I imagine all my cousins read it. My cousins did introduce me to Motown music during high school. Never did get a chance to visit the "Hitsville U.S.A." Motown headquarters on West Grand Boulevard, located in two classic Detroit houses. I take it that Creem didn't provide much coverage of Motown music. |
