MC5: Kick Out the Jams (Sundazed LP5092, 2001)

Found this in the discount rack at Urban Outfitters in the mall of all places. But hey, you gonna be the problem or are you gonna be the solution? Everything good about rock and roll and the state of Michigan, here in one tidy package recorded at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit in 1968. The music will make you strong. Fuck Hudson’s!

Slash: Authority should be shown the middle finger. MC5 was the first real American punk rock band that I identified with. They are timeless because of their attitude https://bit.ly/4ujzxP4. #MC5 #Detroit #music #musicians
