Say it ain't so ...

General Motors files for bankruptcy protection.-AP

There is a long history of GM running through DMGs past. The old man worked for 'em. Brother still does ... Mom living week-to-week on a GM pension.

Bankruptcy .... what we have all been waiting for since Congress and the White House sent GM and Chrysler back to the drawing board over 2 months ago. This is what today brings ... and, what about tomorrow now that it's finally done and out there(Well ... more and more of our friends and colleagues have been living with that every day ...)

Hell of a day to come back to this blogging thing, to be sure.

But, as I decide to do that ... I've also decided i want to get back to the source of why I started the blog in the first place. I never intended it to be a daily rant on the demise of Detroit as a car town! No sir!

My intended goal was - is - to make sure my voice is at least out there ... commenting on the media panacea. Detroit was - still is - an important Advertising town. An important Media town.

We need to have a voice in what is being said out there regarding our industry ... both Automotive and Media.

I really don't need PHD-NY, GroupM, Starcom, or anyone else telling me how to run a media business in the (still) biggest advertising category in our Industry. Quite the contrary. Maybe I want to get them off that famous New Yorker cover once in awhile ...

Afterall, I have made my career in it - and have just as much to say about it as anyone. You too!

So as I come back to this blog - after a month long sabbatical - that's the thing I want to keep clearly in focus ... the thing I arguably lost some focus of ...

Maybe you are still out there ... maybe not ... send cards and letters.

Mail 'em to Detroit (MediaGuy).
