NEW YORK -GRAND FUNK RAILROAD: THEY CAME TO SEE (AND LEFT BLIND) part two. Concluding the Terry Knight interview with Cash Box's Kenny Kerner. C.B. With all the power that Mark has based on his popularity as a rock star, if he did say that I'm sure the kids would listen! T.K.: But he wouldn't. Mark already said, 'Non Violent.' C.B. The power that Mark has now is like the power that Lennon and Mc- Cartney had. Everything they did was publicized, and the kids followed along. T.K.: But that's the disgrace. That's the lack of responsible journalism we've been getting. If the cat merits the press hearing what he's got to say, for Christ sake, give him the courtesy of being there to hear it. I could have given you a

press release telling you they would play . I didn't ask you to come to our grounds. I didn't call a press conference in the middle of Shea Stadium. You cats would have shit in your pants if you had to sit in the middle of OUR people and talk to Grand Funk in OUR ball park-but WE came to YOU. This conference was a hostile environment for them. It's not their thing. C.B. Why do you keep using those words? OUR people. YOUR people. Brothers. Sisters. That's such garbage. For the last hour you've been telling me that you and the group want change, and the very minute you start separating people. YOUR people. OUR people. How can you bring everybody together if you first separate them? T.K.: Well I'll tell you something, man-if you think that Richard Nixon is part of OUR people-you're full of shit. If you think that Spiro Agnew is part of OUR people-you're full of shit too. Now if you can't separate those two individuals, then there's something wrong with you. C.B.: Separate those two individuals from what? T.K.: From what? You can begin by separating them from me! What THEY stand for and what the kids at Shea stand for are two different things. You've got to separate where separation is due. You can't fight a fuckin battle without knowing where the battle line is. What you're talking about is what THEY'RE

doing in Vietnam. You've got to define. I didn't make up the word. Jagger used it-he didn't make it up. It's a word. I would love to be your BROTHER-can you dig that? I would really love to be your BROTHER! Let's talk, man-let's communicate. Hey, you were one sixth of a great start at the press conference. You made an effort to come. BROTHERS and SISTERS isn't bull shit, Kenny, it's not. Maybe sometime as a representative of the press you'll be able to go with Grand Funk, and you'll hear it-'how do you feel, BROTHER?' And he means it! If this desk is the only thing that separates us-physically-then I wouldn't be self conscious about walking over and putting my arms around you, man. was self conscious at one time, but I gotta tell you the truth-Mark and Donnie freaked me out one night back stage at Madison Square Garden. I was never embraced by a grown man. I've got a 15 year old brother that I kiss. I'm not ashamed of that! He's my blood brother, but he's my BROTHER, too, my little

brother. I would cry for HIM the same as I would cry for YOU. And that's what Mark cries for. And he does cry. He DOES cry.

C.B. I understand why you want the separation, but I think it's self defeating. The reason for the Beatles great popularity was that they had universal appeal. They appealed as much to a six year old as they did to a forty year old. Grand Funk is coming on to the music scene and saying that THESE people are the ones we're playing for. THESE people here, are the ones we're concerned with. THESE are OUR people. The Beatles came on and appealed to everybody, so everybody listened. The Beatles didn't separate. Grand Funk is taking THEIR people out of the entire population and catering exclusively to them. T.K.: The thing the media continually keeps writing about is their music, but that's unimportant. Let me give you an example. Grand Funk played Monroe, Louisiana. They might have been the only hard rock act in the history of the (cont'd on page 44)

HOLLYWOOD-GOOD GOSH Bobby Gosh combs his head with a Norelco and some say that the wisp of FuManchu moustache on his young face makes him look like a Mongol chieftan. He has been writing songs for about a dozen years, with guys like Sammy Cahn, Paul Anka, Maurice Gimbel and, in '69, decided to go it on his own as a singer. His first Ip on Polydor was released a couple of weeks ago. "There's a lot of people in the same boat as me-they have an album and they're trying to promote themselves as entertainers and they need exposure. First of all there aren't enough rooms. And the rooms want a James Taylor or a Carol King. And the way they get them is by tying them up in options . . . this is universal, it's been going on and will continue. But there's a big gap. When you're a nobody you may have to play the room for nothing-or less . . . I wanted to play a major club in L.A., was willing to play it for scale to be heard. Yet my agent told me scale was 250-O.K. But I would have to kick it all back to the club owner." "I know an act-I won't mention names-with seven or eight guys and they've got a chart record. And they're playing right now for, like zero, and it costs a fortune to move them 'cross country . . . like Bill Graham says-the superstars get $50,000 or more a week and the other act in the group might be playing at the Filmore West for twelve dollars and forty cents. What do you do about it?' "I played with Three Dog Nite and Steppenwolf for $750 a night. We did a concert in Kentucky, brought along a bass player and guitarist and drummer. It cost me approximately $1000 to play that one night ... I'm not complaining. I was glad to have that exposure before 16,000 people. But if they can pay an act $30,000 and a promoter, at $5 a ticket, sold 16,000 seats, he took in roughly $90,000-right? The difference between paying me $750 or $1250 is nothing to him. But the difference to me is breaking even or buying a new suit." Gosh played P.J.'s here last week, a three day gig which he admits was only (cont'd on page 44) GFR Bobby Gosh Linda, Paul and family; Beatles
