(And there’s a strong argument to be made that his latest, an adaptation of the dystopian novel The Dog Stars, is actually a Western in disguise.) He’s dealt with stories that take place…

“In Detroit! We got on that bus at 2648 West Grand Boulevard and started riding. We were all discovered, put together, and united in Hitsville U.S.A.. Berry Gordy [Motown founder] – thank you.” The answer we were looking for was the first date of the tour which was Washington DC, but technically, you’re CORRECT. Parts of it sound terrifying. When touring the Deep South, the Motown Revue played to segregated audiences and sometimes were chased by racists wielding shotguns. “We’d pick bullets out of the headboard of the bus, but there’s fear in everything you do. We went through dangers…
