Here’s a shout-out to my brother Don, who recently gave me—for my fifty-zillionth birthday—a copy of Mr. Pop’s latest, Preliminaires, which includes this parvum opus. Who could have imagined, back in August of 1968, during the Democratic Convention in Chicago, when we were in Lincoln Park listening to those other Detroit/Ann Arbor guys, the MC5 (who the next month signed with Elektra along with the Stooges), that we’d be listening to this forty-one years later?
