    This had to be before Hawkwind. It does sound something like Sun Ra, and yeah I know the poem from the liner notes to Heliocentric Worlds is read on this, but it's all MC5 really. Not a remake, not even an homage, just some roots showing.

    And that's what it is: Rock'n'Roll! From Chuck Berry to Motörhead it's ROCK & ROLL!

    "fuck -cores" People got so damn obsessed with being hard sounding that they ended up making a class of music that I like to call a dick beating contest. Who can beat their dick the hardest and the fastest and in the most ridiculous fashion? Well let's just see!

    This is a terrible quality recording. Completely ruins the song. Hopefully this isn't what it sounds like on the actual CD.

    It' sounds lo-fi because it was recorded in the 60s...
