Earlier this year we were asked to participate in a state motto project called Fifty and Fifty curated by the talented Dan Cassaro where we got to represent Michigan handsomely. To return the favor, we’ve given Dan the license to drive this week at FoT as our 16th Guest Post’r. Dan will take us on a journey through the highways and backroads of some of the finest curves seen this side of the Mississippi. He’s included a song for each post which by the end of the week will make for the perfect roadtrip mixtape. We hope you enjoy the ride.

Dad Rock
Digitized & Drawn by Dan Cassaro
The day you were born your dad built a rocket. Loaded with all his favorite records and powered with spare parts from his Chevy Nova, he aimed the rocket at your Saturn, lit the fuse, and watched it disappear into the night sky while blasting some Supertramp. The party was over and it was time for him to get down to some serious dadding. Now, a couple of decades later, your Saturn is returning, colonized with your dad’s record collection and a healthy population of good vibes. It’s been a long, exhausting journey and your Saturn is ready to throw back a couple of domestic cans and just CHILL OUT. Hey bud, let’s party. – Dan
