Mark Farner “I’m Your Captain (Closer to Home)” on the Howard Stern Show (2006)

Nov 7, 2020 - Watch Mark Farner perform Grand Funk Railroad’s song “I’m Your Captain (Closer to Home)” during his 2006 appearance on the Stern Show. Song written 1970-1971. I was at a Christian concert in a side room of a church, The bands Were The Sweet Comfort Band. Me and my Pastor Randy Blankenship was in the front row, a small group. The SCB said at intermission a special guest was coming. It was Mark Farner, actually, 3-4 ft. away on the same plane, in front of us. So loud they blew a speaker system, but, the rest were pumped to that normalized ear bustin range. Reminded me of Alice Coopers Christian album We ran into impromptu, Al wasn't even to be there, just a passin thru, same day deal. We (my 2 daughters) I was by a big butt speaker front row, billion dollars, Unfinished Sweet (big sucker) (I caught two guitar picks with my left hand whizzing from 8-10 ft. away as there was a guard barrier. In the dark with my left hand, like a fly in the dark! I look down, to my surprise a Alice Cooper guitar pick x 2) I gave one away to the ppl behind. People treat ya nicer when you have your well behaved kids with ya. (strange world, full of fear. Don't talk to anyone because if you do you must be weird) Well back to the most important part of that Album, that his old band played, on spot, original. Could not tell the difference. It was not taped or fake because I know music. I see every strum, every drum beat. It was Album tempo and correct. This was "The Last Temptation" album. I probably seen it 95/96. I know, without a doubt Alice or Vince would remember me because, I hand my hands up in Praise, in Honor to The Lord inside my Spirit. The Whole concert, except maybe 25%. I was immersed because that is what I have always done a home, Praise The Lord in certain music. I know (Al) he never seen it and would remember, even back then.
Did you know the old time tunes you sing in church were derived from Saloons and beer halls from the 1800's/1900's but it is suitable in church, but a different music is not. PPL need to awaken, instead of following what they have been taught, like traditions of men, realize, it is you, your guile, if your under the tree Nathaniel. Be free. God has shown me so much! actual movie vision, my sister also. Look, expect, push, receive. HE is coming soon and within you! You have so much to teach others wound up in ppl's ideas. Pull them to truth & love. Let go! I used to take kids by a bus in the early 80's two hours from a Children's home to Christian concerts at the Adam's Apple in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Then played drum for two years in an AG church. It was not your normal music heh. We were good. Igot ill. Long story. But before/while I had an electronics store and a Christian Bookstore for 8 years each. Store fronts downtown. Plus was a machinist at General Dynamics on the Abrams Tank Plant, Land Systems Division. It was I believe I got ill, Depleted Uranium. My immune system got broken by low dose radiation.
