intimate look at music artists' first rides

Tour" at FivePoint Amphitheatre in Irvine, CA
LOS
ANGELES, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mercury
Insurance (NYSE: MCY) and Live Nation have partnered again to
connect music fans with the artists they love through the creation
of Mercury's "My First Car" series,
a behind-the-scenes look with some of the world's best known
musicians and their fond memories behind the wheel of their first
cars.
"We all have strong memories about our first cars, so we thought
it would be fun to ask artists about theirs," said Erik Thompson, Vice President and Chief
Marketing Officer at Mercury Insurance. "It's a great way for
artists to connect with fans through a shared experience…and the
stories are really fun and interesting, too."
George Thorogood is one of the
featured artists participating in Mercury's My First Car series.
"My first was a 1955 Classic Chevy Bel-Air, blue, [and] it
didn't run," said Thorogood. "When I brought [the car] home and
turned it on it didn't work so I used it to practice my guitar in
the back seat."
