MC5: No More Violence
Steve Turner, Beat Instrumental, April 1972
MC5 decided to conduct their interview with me in one of their cupboard-size hotel bedrooms. On the door was a poster of Chairman Mao, on the wall a centre-page spread from Penthouse, and standing on a table was a superimposed photograph showing a full frontal view of a long-haired President Nixon. Unlike most visiting American bands they hadnt taken a suite in a respected Park Lane hotel but had gone up the road a bit to Queensway, and to make it a little more like home, theyd brought along their own decorations.
