The MC5 are finally in the R&R HOF, brought it in via a nonvoting mechanism, but finally correcting an error that needed correction. The 5 was the most exciting live band I ever saw. Sad that only Machine Gun Thompson is the sole living member now. I could go on, but I love this band and am glad that finally theier influence is recognized- metal and punk both owe a debt, and they were the band that introduced me to John Coltrane, Albert Ayler and Sun Ra. In 1967, when I was 14!
