Grand Funk Railroad performing I'm Your Captain @ Madison Square Garden on 12/23/72. This also includes Mark talking about The Phoenix House that GFRxR created. Yes, this is the real deal, the Grand Funk Railroad we all love at the peak of their great career. This is a historic concert that folks still rave about. If you were there, feel lucky, because you were a part of history. This is considered by many to be one of the greatest concerts in the short history of "Hard Rock/Metal". Grand Funk Railroad was truly a "Performance Vehicle".

"Brothers and sisters, there are people out there that look just like me 'n you or... maybe your brother...eh ...but they're NOT!! And when they hand you somethin'...don't take it! Don't take it okay?" (Mark Farner's 'words of wisdom' from the 'Live Album 1970) These words have echoed through my mind my whole teenage years, thanks Mark!

Ok Farner, get off your goddamn soapbox. Please!!! Yes, people die from Heroin. It's a choice. Blah blah blah Tell Hendrix and Cobain they didn't know what they were doing. Really Mark, your not this common joke. I've seen so many people go from drug addict to preacher. Big fucking deal.
Get fucking real and quit taking you stupid ass so goddamn seriously. Seriously!

So you don't care that all those people have killed themselves. Hendrix and Cobaine - what would they be like today if they hadn't died?

Do I care about ... ( 1 week ago by tomitstube)

Do I care about what? That people do drugs or that people kill themselves? What would they be like today? Old... telling people not to do what they did. All the more reason to do it, right?
This actually has a good message. Drugs are a symptom of something deeper. Unfortunately today it's still political. Politicians "getting tough on crime" exploiting people for their own gain. The DEA should be disbanned. One day practicality will finally end wars on inanimate objects.

Please don't bash Mark. Alot of us think he is a great guy / musician..blah blah blah.

Mark Farner, the frontman of Grand Funk Railroad is all that Mark Farner will ever need.
Why sound like Pat Robertson?!?! wtf "Don't take my ship away from me". If Mark said... this way, and geezus said that way... I would go with Mark, if they both agreed, I would go the opposite way. I bought Farner tickets in Kansas City MO thinking GFR. The whole tour cancelled cuz Mark tu
rned into a fucking preacher. How's that for a fucking message? Religion is shit.

That is probably one of the most ignorant statements I've ever heard. Sounds like the same old bullshit, blame your problems on somebody else, try this instead: grow the fuck up you infantile little piece of shit,and start taking responsibility for your own words and actions.

Could you be more ... ( 1 day ago by tomitstube)

Could you be more specific, cuz I have no idea what you think I said is ignorant. I'm blaming what on who? Take responsibility for what? You've got the whole anger thing down, but you blubber like some old conservative holy roller. Enlighten me cracker!
