    Mark Farner should be in the Rock HOF even without GFR. He wrote so many great songs. He was the driving force behind GFR with his guitar work and voice. He is GFR. Would not waste my time buying a ticket to see Don and Mel without Mark.

    Much love and respect to Mark Farner. I listened to GFR so much when I was growing. They always had a lot of fun rockin' songs and had high energy shows. But when they wrote this song, this elevated them in my opinion to among the best of song writers. I know the inspiration of this song was the Pueblo incident - but to have come up with this classic - it shows their passion for our country and for what is right and wrong. This song is always in my heart.
