""And right now... right now... right now it's time to..."

…remember one of the most unlikely frontmen in Rock 'n Roll, of course Made in Detroit: The Righteous Brother Rob Tyner! Shakin' his hip-hugger-wearin' ass across the cosmos!

And as our mind explodes in a post atomic dawn
The future breaks like a tidal wave, engulfing everyone
Confusion and chaos, trauma of birth
A strange new day for the people of the earth
Traditions burned away by the rising sun

-- MC5, Future/Now (Tyner)

Right on, Brother Tyner! ✊ Born today in 1944, Rob was struck down tragically in 1991, only 46 years old, from a heart attack.

When the Five were on fire!
