Being a musician I see the genius in them all day...
and then to know they risked it all for truth and righteousness just made me love them more.
I mean... I love Joy Divison too... completely different species and they toggle with unclarity as their purpose... even tho' Ian Curtis was a genius in my eyes. One of the few to come out of that scene actually. However...
there are serious blues elements with MC5 as that's how their guitarists learned to play. Mind you... I love electric blues... all day... have played with some of the best... and I love to get down...
so I understand that.
All I'm saying is... I also understand the element that produced it cause I was there.
