Kick Out The (strawberry) Jams?

The remaining 3 of The MC5 now touring reveal that far from being driven only by "militant politics, guns, communal living and ten-point manifestos", and Sinclair's White Panthers they were only in it for the fun. Guitarist Wayne Kramer shockingly reveals "what was really going on, certainly it was about sex. That's at the core of much of what rock 'n' roll is, why guys play in bands in the first place."

Well I never.
