I didn't know BOC covered that old MC5 tune, "Kick Out The Jams"?
Alan "More Cowbell" Lanier was dumb enough to introduce his girlfriend, Patti Smith, to Fred "Sonic" Smith, formerly of the MC5. Fred swept her off her feet with his hillbilly charm, and married her in '79. Those Harts Creek boys know how to pull the chicks.
Oddly, Patti and her two children kept Fred's last name after his premature death.
