Who doesn't like loud, dumb rock?! You can certainly count me in!
Grand Funk Railroad was all the rage when I was in Jr. High. I still pull the records out here and there...
This is one of my favorites
Grand Funk Railroad - Closer to Home (Capitol 1970)
The cover features Mark, Don and Mel in high contrast with 'real' eyes.
A friend who saw them back in the day relayed a story of a drum solo. Seems Don had the obligatory rock drum solo. The grand finale had him doing what appeared to be playing a drum with his head. In reality he was hitting his bass drum pedal to make the sound. I have searched far and wide for video of this, but have yet to strike gold.
The Stores. The Chores. The Mainstream. The Oddball. The Serious. The Goofy. The Awesome. The Not So Awesome. 45's. 33's. The 'What Were They Thinking.' Stories from the Store. Observations from my armchair.
What's All This Then
Why should I care what this guy has to say?
The correct answer is that you shouldn’t. We’re all entitled to our opinions. Develop your own. I try to be sane and rational, but that may change with the level of caffeine intake. I’m just telling my stories in the hopes they may amuse and/or inform others. And... I Confess... I'm showing off my bitchen collection a bit.
