This Day in Auto History 1.28.2009 Country singer/songwriter John Rich released a song about the plight of autoworkers titled Shuttin Detroit Down. The song, which featured such lyrics as While theyre living it up on Wall Street in that New York City town, here in the real world theyre shuttin Detroit down, quickly became a hit in Michigan, where the U.S. auto industry began, as well as across America. Rich, one-half of the country duo Big & Rich, whose hits include Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy) and Comin to Your City, recorded Shuttin Down Detroit for his 2009 solo album Son of a Preacher Man. In January 2009, Michigan-based mlive reported that Rich said Shuttin Detroit Down was about: the working men and women of America, and how Washington and New York City are slinging billions of dollars over the tops of our heads, while hard working people are going down the drain. The song became a working-class anthem and had some fans calling up radio stations in tears after they heard it played.
