Blurred Lines is a single written and performed by the artists Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams and T.I. Released in 2013 it has since become one of the best-selling singles of all times. The song’s lyrics and music video became very controversial, getting the reputation of being misogynistic and promoting date rape.

In the early 1900’s the roads in Indiana were not yet developed, and seeing that automotive technology was on the rise, many people needed somewhere to drive their vehicles other than a dirt road. Local entrepreneurs, Carl G. Fisher, James Allison Arthur Newby and Frank Wheeler, realized the potential and need for such a “motor parkway” and began developing the plans
