Absolutely correct, although the magnetic fields emitted today are far, far weaker than in years past. Less voltage, amperage, etc., etc. > > > >spoiled enough.

They're appearing in Muncie, Indiana on September 6. I have VIP tix, and will be seeing the band BEFORE AND AFTER the show. <I like to brag sometimes!> This isn't the GFR from yesteryear. New lineup (Bruce Kulick on lead guitar -- formerly with KISS for 12 years and UNION; Max Carl on vocals, keyboards and rhythm guitar, formerly of .38 Special, Jack Mack & The Heart Attack; and Tim Cashion on keyboards and vocals -- formerly with Bolton, Bob Segar and Robert Palmer). Don Brewer is still singing and doing duty on drums -- he has the FASTEST RIGHT FOOT in all of rock-n-roll. He doesn't use double bass drums. This man's speed will amaze and delight, and makes it all look like he's in slow-motion -- the mark of a great drummer. Mel Schacher is still thumping the bass. He's been dubbed "the God of Thunder" by Bass Player magazine. If you see him play, you'll know why. Even in back-row seats, this guy will pound your chest without hurting your ears. Interestingly enough, he's the son of a musician who played bass violin, accordian and banjo for the Lawrence Welk Orchestra on TV back in the '50s and '60s. Mel's first exposure on the national scene was when he was still 16 as the bass guitarist on a No.1 hit song by ? and the Mysterians called "96 Tears." I know Mark Farner isn't with GFR anymore. Screw it. Let's move on. These guys ROCK! If they come to your town, check 'em out! I'm not kidding; I'm not exaggerating! I loved Grand Funk when I was a kid, but these guys blow them outta the water!!! You will melt when you hear "I'm Your Captain" or "We're An American Band!!!" I'm done. The rant is over.
