"It began when Pete Cavanaugh, from Flint’s teen/rock station WTAC, informed Charlie and I that they would be appearing at his club, Sherwood Forest (which is located in Davison, which is the home of John and David Sinclair and if you don’t know who John is by now, heaven help us all) the following Sunday. Needless to say, it was impossible, even after two nights running of Tina Turner, to miss such a landmark exposition of punk-rock […] the first appearance in two years of the original bizarro band."--Dave Marsh in his May 1971 Looney Toons column for Creem
