Love your FR handle!
I understand regarding Mark Farner but it seems that he wanted a larger share of the finances than Mel and Don.
By the way “American Band” was written and sung by Don.

People forget just how huge these guys were.
Peter Grant basically forced GFR to stop touring with Zep, because they were blowing them off the stage.

Thanks for posting. Good memories of seeing Grand Funk Railroad, Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes and the MC5. Great Michigan bands!

Their agent ripped them off. A very common story from that era.

Farner has been a devout Christian for a long time.

Without Mark, it’s a tribute band.

We simply had it great with the 60’s and 70’s rock bands, nothing like it before or after.

"Without Mark, it’s a tribute band."
Don and Mel are great musicians, but you're right - Mark was the heart and soul of Grand Funk Railroad.

It’s like after singing “I’m getting closer to my home”, ad nauseum, I’m like “Would you just get home, already!!”

Reminds me years ago at work at a truck line. Phil Collins song repeating I Just Don’t Care Anymore.
One older man (and he was usually not a talkative type) said “I guess he just don’t give a F.
We all broke down in laughter.
