M-TED: What was the second album. I obviously have the first album with the pics of the band with the White Panter badges stuck on their bare chests but the only other MC5 is called "High Time",which I haven't played in 30 years or so... I do have an obit in the jacket of my 1st album for Rob Tyner, the lead vocalist, who died many years ago at age 46. I remember driving up to Ann Arbor in the late 60's for a White Panther gathering. I was hoping to see the MC5 but they weren't playin in the area. Did squeeze in Ted Nugent, Booker T and the MG's at an outdoor event, and the Stooges at some big concert hall in Detroit. Met some dudes and we went to cop some smoke in the bad side of town and got my white ass arrested for suspicion of armed robbery I guess for being a white dude in the wrong neighborhood at the wrong time of day. Nevermind... ol bobert can't think of the MC5 without thinkin' of my night in jail in Detroit...
