i'm sure this list (http://www.forbes.com/home/business/2008/01/29/detroit-stockton-flint-biz-cz_kb_0130miserable.html) will do wonders for their economies!


detroit really is as big of a shit hole as people say

Regardless of the economy and rate of crime,these guy's have obviously never spent any significant time in Salt Lake City....

wow....Buffalo didn't make it?

maybe it was beyond miserable and they just didn't want to even bother

apparently they ranked all 150 cities taken into account, but have only released the top 10 so far



houston mute? please brotha!



i too was surprised a place like buffalo or even cleveland didnt make the top 10. but i guess things like commuter traffic and waste sites end up making those larger cities a lot worse.

i'm surprised boston isn't in there. everyone here is pretty grumpy most of the time. and occasionally stabby

although i think the city planners have strategically made it so that the stabbiest parts of boston are technically not boston

That was one thing that sucked about living in Michigan. All the concerts you wanted to go to were all the way in Detroit (or if you were lucky, Grand Rapids). I always dreaded parking there and dealing with the homeless people who'd go up and down the line into the venue.

The city that the band is singing about in the album version of this song has been generally thought to be
San Francisco, California (the traffic report in the bridge references the Golden Gate Bridge and The City by
the Bay), and in Japan it has been sold with Japanese title "Sisuko wa Rokku Sitii (SF is a rock city)". But according
to Slick, it was actually written about early-1970s Los Angeles.

Schwing!

No wonder it's such a shitty song.

Then you'll love this quote too!
Blender magazine contributor Russ Heller set a record for listening to We Built This City continuously for 24 hours. He was encased
in a Plexiglas booth — without earplugs — beginning Friday, October 13, 2006 at 8:00 a.m. at a Best Buy store in New York City.

The video (http://youtube.com/watch?v=TxGGckAc1rs) doubles the atrocity-ness.


Mickey Thomas (?) is so unbelievably homosexual.
