Are you aware of the strange things that Don does to his fans to Make Them Scream For More? Have you ever wondered why Mark has this powerful need to Do His Thing? And what about Mel and his Burning Desire To Satisfy? Well, wonder no more, because Ernie Tucker has all the answers on this 1972 LP, Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Grand Funk Railroad: Side One (25 meg MP3) | Side Two (29 meg MP3).
This was the hotly anticipated followup to Mr. Tucker's Everything You Always Wanted To Know About David Cassidy and the critically acclaimed but commercially disappointing, Everything You Always Wanted To Know About The Osmonds.
I tried playing this on the air yesterday, but it turned my stomach after several minutes
and I had to bail out. Once the screaming teenage girls fade out, one is left with way too much information about Flint, Michigan's Thrilling Threesome With The Hot 'N' Heavy Sound, and how they Get Their Kicks just by doing What Comes Naturally, Babeee!
Thanks Brian and Megan.

















I was kind of hoping the tracks would be blank - because that is exactly how much I want to know about Grand Funk Railroad. But no, there is stuff there, and now I have to listen to it, because I am obsessive that way. Thanks, Ken. Thanks a lot.

I have the Osmonds version, but it always gives me terrible anxiety, because the super fast-talking woman who does it is edited so that she never takes a breath, and she talks in super-long run on sentences anyway, and just when you think she should be gasping, she reels off another string off facts and quasi-anecdotes with the kind of lurching, dememnted, bubbly enthusiasm one could only get from repeated shots to the chest of adrenaline...it's kind of like when Centipede is getting faster and faster and you begin to feel delirious...

Wow.
Wow.
"smoke steamin' body funk from the midwest, Grand Funk, a bruising, blasting electric vibration ia a railroad for its generation, and running like a clockwork orange, right on its time"
Get that guy a paragraph break! I can hear the spittle attempting to exit his throat.

This is awesome. It's somewhere between Spinal Tap and Some King of Monster. I hope the people the make Metalocalypse parody it.
