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."
