-------
Driving to work, I had the radio on.
Only to hear Curtis Granderson's gone.
Reminders they come in empty lots,
67' took these city blocks.
Can we meet in the middle?
Can I turn you around?
Let's talk a little and we can go downtown.
Decorations won't be wasted.
I'll be taking any beauty I see
and I'll try to give it to ya.
Let's not hear that story again,
one that's drilled in to our heads.
I'll hold dear neighbors and friends,
who hold dear ideas of dissent.
I was confused the day that we met,
all I kept hearing was "Michigan Left".
Those old nicknames, they don't make any sense
He said let me explain...

Still in disbelief that I saw these guys at a bar with maybe 20 people watching back in 2008.. met the band a few times after that and they remembered me

[@babba632]

They now fill hockey stadiums it's actually insane

[@b-bum]

Holy shit this is the most Canadian reply

[@DudieBro]

I directed an awards show for cable tv.. these guys came and worked for free- totally KILLED their show- AND they chilled with us the whole time off stage. Pure bred canadian talent, carrying on our tradition of great songwriting. Keep it up boys!

[@mattsears7456]

A “Michigan left” is a right turn followed by a U turn resulting in a left turn without going through the intersection

[@mayalogy]

These guys are great, I can't believe they aren't huge yet..

[@babba632]

They are now!

[@kstep172]
