HOLY SHIT. That takes me back...

Took me a long time to accept that the band I heard singing "Walk the Dinosaur" on the radio was the same band.

Don Was is sort of a local legend here in Detroit.

There's nothing local about Don Was' legendary status. I know a lady who moved from Italy to Los Angeles because Don Was said he'd produce her album.

That's amazing. He runs one of the biggest music festivals here, and is treated like a god by the music crowd. Always introduced as "Detroit's own..."

Just know that he is treated like a god in LA, and from what I hear also New York.
