Yeah, it started here in Detroit—it might end here as well.— Anon.

Since we've devoted considerable space to the new wave doings of other cities, we've gotten mail (at least five letters) demanding that we honor our roots and produce a Detroit Guide. It's not that easy. Six months ago there was no new wave scene in Detroit, which was rather embarrassing as we did produce most of the punk pantheon of gods—from the obvious; Iggy and the MC-5, to gonebut-not-forgotten-in-our-hearts; Question Mark & The Mysterians, the Rationals, the Amboy Dukes.
