FLASH!  FREE MUSIC IN GALLUP PARK EVERY SUNDAY!  ROCK AND ROLL EMERGES TRIUMPHANT!  THIS WEEK MC5, WILSON MOWER PURSUIT!

(Ann Arbor, August 7th) Following the success of the first Gallup Park free concert last Sunday local heads and rock and roll fiends will carry on on the banks of the Huron River every Sunday afternoon until further notice. Last Sunday's concert, which featured the Back & Back Boo Funny Music Band, Billy C. and His Killer Blues Band, and the MC5, went off with no trouble whatsoever, just groovy vibes all around. No cops appeared all afternoon throughout the three-hour fest, but Lt. Staudenmaier could be seen with his lady digging the music quietly from the riverbank on an unofficial off-duty visit. Lt. Staudenmaier was instrumental in freeing the Gallup Park location for the free concerts, working in conjunction with Asst. City Administrator Donald Borut and Trans-Love spokesman John Sinclair to find a home for the musIc.

The Gallup Park location, on the south bank of the Huron River near the corner of Geddes Road and Fuller Road, is so isolated from complaining neighbors that the City called us up Monday morning to see if there had been a concert the day before! When they realized that everything is cool they granted permission to use the park whenever necessary, which is pretty incredible.

This Sunday's concert will start at 3 pm and will feature the Wilson Mower Pursuit and the MC5, with other community bands due to fall by for a set. Negotiations are underway to get the Canned Heat out to the park for a jam or two, since they'll be playing in Detroit all weekend. Again, bands who want to do their thing for the people are urged to bring their equipment out and kick em out Sunday afternoon. The concerts are presented by the people for the people--free for all.

"Informed sources have revealed to SUN reporters that the infamous Ann Arbor undercover narcotics agents who were allegedly kidnapped and drugged by some dope fiends at 317 E. Jefferson a few months ago (see the Ann Arbor News' lurid account if you want a sick laugh) are back in action and are residing incognito at 544 S. 5th St. We haven't got their names handy but they're probably lying about their names anyway. Watch for them and be advised. This time maybe they won't get away!

****WORK/5, a mammoth magazine of poetry and contemporary language edited by Dave Sinclair and published at the Artists' Workshop Press (a division of Trans-Love Energies Unlimited), will be available to word freaks early next week. Some copies will be distributed in Gallup Park Sunday. WORK was founded in 1965 by Robin Eichele and John Sinclair at the Artists' Workshop in Detroit and has built a reputation for great issues in the literary underground over the years. The current issue will be distributed free in the community. You can pick up your free copy in Gallup Park Sunday or at the Free Store thereafter. Copywrite is obsolete. The words don't belong to "us" --they're everybody's!
