Thank you, Lynn Goldsmith, for all you did for GFR back then and especially for being such a supportive friend and ally to Mark💙. I remember back when I heard about Mark being voted out of the band, the lyrics to “I’m your captain (Closer to home)” came to mind and for some reason and even though I knew them, I read the lyrics, particularly the verses, and I was thinking about the way that Mark said the song lyrics came to him after he prayed to God for a Song. And it hit me like Thors hammer that most of the lyrics (the verses in particular) were a metaphorical foretelling of what would happen to Mark 20 or so years in the future. It was prophetic, but the thing that quells the hurt I personally felt for Mark is the fact that he did not allow it to make him a hateful bitter person. He has chosen his battles, guarded his own heart and thankfully been able to continue performing solo in spite of Don‘s past efforts to more or less try to legally bind him from doing so.

Agree 110%! My favorite vocal performance is in the song “The Railroad” on their 1975 live album “Caught in the act.” if you’ve never heard this track you’ve missed half the world. I particularly love how he belts on the second verse : “Burning sweat running down my back”……..

Boy, this gal ought to get in a time machine (see what I did there?) and discover that Grand Funk Railroad were at their very best in the early days. She's talking about the "second album" which was their EIGHTH. When they went "commercial," with "We're An American Band" was the beginning of their demise. That's apparently when this gal started her stint with the band with her "first album - second album" crap. Wow, the size and magnitude of her ego is actually breath taking. Mark was the heart and soul of that band and Mel was the spine. Don did his job, but he was a basic drummer and a halfway decent backup singer, but Mark wrote the songs and was the frontman, and nobody who didn't live through it will ever understand how big they actually were from 1969 to about 1973.

The point about Mark, Don and Mel all being still alive is what I've been saying all along. We just lost yet another member of the "1948 club" this past week---Wayne Kramer---the same age as Mark and Don! There's only so many grains left in the hour glass once you reach the age of 75, you're a quarter away from 100! As long as you are sucking air, still healthy and able to rock---get it together!

I learned to play drums listening to Grand Funk. They were one of the great power trios of the 70s. But, as much as I owe to Don Brewer for the drum lessons, I believe that 80% Grand Funk’s success was due to the talent and creativity of Mark Farner. I would love to see them live if they got back together, but will not go out of my way to see the current lineup without Mark.

Don Brewer, despicable human being. On the first live album, his drum solo TNUC (read it backwards) 15 min long. He started taking control, and the quality of the albums went down and down. There are people in this world who build things up, like Mark, and those who tear things down like Don. I still am amazed by the early albums, and drop everything to listen if thar music is playing. But the lifeless walking of Don's band is like ashes in my mouth. The fans curse you, Don.

Once AGAIN (yea I've been here before LOL) as a life long song writer performer Band leader singer etc I start to hear a woman talking about one member as "The Guy" (And it might be true I'm not saying it isn't there's always ones that shine brighter and are more prolific) and when that starts to happen it makes one of the BROTHERS of the group feel left out or like they are included. When Mark decided to give publishing rights (Some not all) Don he had a long history already with his brother and he wasn't a dummy by that time when it came to song writing credits so he knew what he was doing and why. This woman I'm sure put a rift between them in I'm also sure many ways! That's something women aren't good at. Keeping groups together. They can be amazing at management and promoting and organizing the list goes on. But men know how to be BROTHERS! She is sounding like she's always saying "I'm not a greedy person, I don't need to be the center of it all or control everything". But the only reason she's saying these things is because she NEEDS to be the center of attention and to prove that she's right or can do this or that. She's a control freak at the expense of the very thing that makes a band a band BROTHERHOOD! Ego's are already hard enough to deal with without some woman coming in and pushing buttons and shoving people round without any care for their feelings or what they've been through together etc. IMHO> anyway. LOL. Oh and yes MARK should be up there as one of the sincerely greatest singers of the era or any era! AMAZING talent! DON? Wow no slouch there either.

I was fortunant enough to see GF play in Schweinfurt, Germany when they gave a free concert for GIs in the summer of 71. The opening act was Humble Pie with Peter Frampton. What a memorable concert. Years later, I took a date to a GF concert in Lansing, Mich. She informed me, Mark was the first date she ever had when she grew up in Flint. Unfortunantly Mark had left the band by that time.

@@marcludeman4106 Totally agree. I think Don was butt sore that it got out that Mark "gave" him sole composer rights to the most successful song. He really needs to check his ego, because I don't think anybody is going to list him in their top whatever drummer lists. He was great for the band, but as a former drummer, he''s not anything but adequate. Together they were amazing, but when they were screwed by Terry Knight, they needed money and basically sold their soul to commercialism. I understand and don't hold it against them, but they turned their back on their art for the sake of making a living, I guess. Don deserves the obscurity in which he will forever live.

The slop I often see in my other favs like Zepp and the Who when they play live, does not seem to occur with GFR.

I respect her talent and I also love the older rock music but the original three piece band was my favorite before her or Todd Rundgren got involved. They were raw rock, blues, and funk but afterwards they became more commercialized and I lost interest in the music. I agree with Mark about forgiveness and Mark was the heart and soul of the band. I won tickets to a "Grand Funk" concert last year and went to the show but left very soon because it sounded nothing like the Grand Funk shows that I saw in the early 70s.

Loggins and Messina got back together in2005 after their woodwinds master died. They finally understood that time is fleeting. That tour was a satisfying reprise of all of their great music,and left fans with a peaceful conclusion and the ability to move ahead. I honestly think that Mr. Don Brewer believes that the only way they can sell Grand Funk’s name today is through the tension that there may someday be a full reunion. Well guess what, Mr. Brewer, I am done. You and your misfit band are a cheap knock off of the originals. I saw you guys perform a few years ago, and I saw you in about 1970. You may be able to fool some of the fans, but you cannot fool all of us. And the numbers of the fooled are steadily decreasing. Fans are smart, we know that whatever the excuse, you can solve it if the desire is there, and it is only Don and the attorneys who are making a living by keeping the band apart that are preventing reunion. Mel is intelligent enough and flexible enough to reunite, and Mark wants it. Get together, or go home-permanently!

Maybe he should switch to Bass Frehley

Yeah, Brewer was a phenomenal drummer and backing vocalist. But… NO Farner NO FUNK

Don Brewers Drum Set Always Sounded Cheap! Like A Child's Beginner Drum Set, He Wasn't That Great!: Wasn't A Good Singer! Comes Across Ego Infested In His Interviews, All Business But Doesn't Have The Knowledge To Back It Up! Hope He Sees This Comments!

@@markkenific6587 What do you mean, no no no. He has played lead guitar for Grand Funk for years. I personally don't care for Grand Funks unfunky music myself. But he is a great guitar player, especially when he was with the Hottest Band in the World, KISS!🤘🙂 Plus Mark Farner didn't write the song "Locomotion". In case you were going to try to use that song for their Funk. Lol

@Greg "Super Guitar" Sawnick if you saw Bruce play live, you weren't at a Grand Funk show. That was a cover band. No Mark Farner, no Grand Funk.
