In case you missed this on BBC4:

Motor City's Burning: Detroit from Motown to the Stooges

Friday 22 August
11:00pm - 12:00am
BBC2
Documentary looking at how Detroit became home to a musical revolution that captured the sound of a nation in upheaval. In the early 60s, Motown transcended Detroit's inner city to take black music to a white audience, whilst in the late 60s suburban kids like the MC5 and the Stooges descended into the black inner city to create revolutionary rock expressing the rage of young white America. With contributions from Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, George Clinton, Martha Reeves, John Sinclair and the MC5

I only just realised MC5 stands for 'Motor City Five'.
