Wilfrid Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I just saw the MC5 will be recipients of a musical excellence award at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. Well, the drummer is still alive. Maybe Dennis Thompson will get to perform a drum solo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilfrid Posted April 22 Author Share Posted April 22 I saw what I think was called MC5-DTK (Davis, Thompson, Kramer) with all kinds of special guests -- and as long as you had Wayne Kramer there was a sense of occasion. But Mr Manitoba is no Rob Tyner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilfrid Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 Excellent piece, thank you. “The exact right thing at the wrong time.” And it shows it’s not just the MC5. Black artists being admitted aeons late. And I was amazed John Mayall is still with us (well done); Alexis Korner dead 40 years. Rock and Roll Mausoleum of Fame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
