Detroit City Blues

So I was watching P. Diddy’s making the band 4.  That guy’s swagger is at one zillion, btw.  Honestly, that show is one of my guilty pleasures.  One that I find hard to admit.  Anyway, so I was watching this, and he said the most amazing thing.  He is going to be IN DETROIT, auditioning for his new tour ‘the last train to paris’.  He wil be at the music hall on march, 21.  Full details at makinghisband.mtv.com!

He is going to be auditioning for guitar, bass, keyboard and back up singers. I’m not sure if accordions count as ‘keyboards’ per se, but I started cooking something up to wow him immediately after I smoked  a cigarette.  The following video is what I have so far.  It is intensely personal, so feel free to point and laugh.  I have included the lyrics as well, as the sound quality is not of the highest … um, quality.

I lost my job/

I crashed my car/

I got them detroit city blues/

Do you think it’s funny/

funny/

cause I think it’s funny too/

but it’s ok/

cause I got something/

that’s better than money/

aint got no job/

aint got no wheels/

but i got them detroit city blues/

I bet Puffy likes me.

Besides crashing, I may have joined a band yesterday.  We may be called ‘The Ghost Tramp Revival’ and we may be rad.  We will be parading on Feb 24, or Mardi Gras, or if you’re from where I’m from, punczki day.  We are starting at Greektown Station at 5.  Wear a costume, and bring an instrument (or a friend) and be ready to march.  Festivities afterward.
