We're an American Band...

Grand Funk Railroad will be on hand for the Light Rail kick-off in Mesa on December 27th. I think it will be fun to go down to end of the line and check out some tunes and watch the light rail cars as they start to move around town. As for Grand Funk Railroad, they are an okay 70's rock band with a very fortunate name for this event.

I would have probably perferred Foreigner, but that would have reminded some about our illegal immigrant problems. Perhaps Bachman-Turner Overdrive, but that would have made people think about the traffic cameras. Even Cheap Trick would have been great, but that conjures images of the motels on Main Street.

So yeah, I guess that Grand Funk Railroad was the right choice.
