MC5 Problem
Caroline Boucher, Disc and Music Echo, 8 August 1970
THE MC5 are a very good, very determined rock band. In the old days when people weren't too bothered about listening to them, they used to leap off the stage and blow a saxophone in people's ears, or throw money at the audience – anything to get a reaction.
