    He is the man. I fell in love with GFR in ‘69. They were my favorite band all through high school right up now 50 years later. Saw them 3 times, twice at MSG in the early ‘70s and then during the Bosnian Tour. Met Mark a few years ago and got my pic with him. Very nice man and still a great entertainer. I refuse to see the Grand Funk cover band out there now. Mark Farner was,is and always will be Grand Funk.

      Mark is the FUNK in the RR.
      AND the GRAND in it too!
      Mark is full of love and forgiveness. One of the least selfish people on this planet. While Don Brewer and Mel Schacher are obviously into themselves more than the fans. Their guilt for what they did to Mark has put them in a position of shame where they can’t look him in the eyes, so they avoid him at all cost. While Mark has ALREADY FORGIVEN THEM.

    Mark Farner is so awesome man! I really enjoy listening to him no matter what he is talking about. I have been his and the original Grand Funk Railroad fan since early 1970 when I first heard the "Red Album". I saw them during the, "We're An American Band" tour in Toronto and saw Mark solo a few times, also in Toronto and met him during one of those times I think in the 80's and got his friggin' autograph while I was tongue tied meeting my favorite ROCKER.

When my oldest granddaughter was about nine years old, we got into my Jeep and out of nowhere she asked me, “Papa, what is Rock and Roll?” Well, that’s all in needed and on came Foot Stomping Music by GFR an d it struck home with her!!!

    What is one of the most unfortunate things that happens often in this business, no matter what playing level musicians are on, is when they forget where they came from. Their roots. That is very sad. I've seen this many times. Never, ever forget where you came from nor forget your roots and those faithful ones who helped. They are your true friends. My Grandpa taught me that and it warms me that you, Mark, truly live by that ethic. And thank you for your music I've enjoyed your work very much and still do. Well Done, sir, Well Done!

Mark Farmer is one awesome (and underrated in my opinion) guitarist, one of the best I’ve seen including Clapton, Santana, Fogarty, Harrison, CSNY, Leslie West and others. Mark Farner is so right about the selfishness of not burying the hatchet for all the fans who have supported them and reuniting for a final tour. Our loss lends a tarnish to Mark’s band mates who dishonor us.

    It was Mark Fredrick Farner.
    Mark could have been successful as just a guitar player or just a singer.
    I have never been "star struck" in the least by any means. And I've encountered a lot of famous people: KISS, Tommy Shaw, and Robin Williams to name a few, but if I ever met Mark I think my knees would buckle.

    Mark Farner. Everything a Rock Star should be. I don’t know what really went on behind the scenes, but I do know that. 🎸🤟🏼

    I saw the drummer recently at the twin River casino and he looked good and so does mark hopefully the bas player looks good. That's why they should do one reunion tour for the thrill of it.and not to mention the money in selling out venues and making a video. They would be set for life financially. That would make up the loss they took in the beginning

    Mark is the best. I say the hell with those other guys. We don't need them. I met Mark in 1992 just me and my wife with him in his tour bus. I've always loved Mark.

    Mark has been one of my neighbors for over thirty years. He is as kind and down to earth a family man as he is talented. I have never brought up or asked about old stories. I figure after fifty years, like how many times does he want to rehash ancient crap. Suffice it to say Mark is the real deal. No pretense or phony front, just a genuine, beautiful hearted man! ✌️

    Love is unconditional, I can't not change the past, or live in the past. Hate, revenge I give it away to those who think they deserve it. My life is to light force of love, forgiveness I accept & give. My eyes are open to the hear & now the wonder of it all, a drug you can not buy or need I am free.

    Yeah, like you speak of love making the 80s I think You prayed in Tucson with some other members at the gardens got to meet you cause I was working there I was I was drunk you are such a nice man you started riding me with you are still appreciate that about God’s word. it took me a while but I finally got home and started studying. It’s like it’s wonderful but you were my idol we had a band in the 90s and we played about your songs I seen you at least five times in Houston. I wish y’all would get back together for one more tour and I will pray. God bless you Mark Farner and your family. my name is Remy might remember might not but I’ll never forget love is all you need! God and Jesus so much I want to say, there’s so many generations that love Grand Funk!

    Why can't GFR get back together? Drop the bad riff and let's start jamming. I grew up on their music. Friday nites cruising up and down Rivers Ave, N. CHASN, S. C. blaring their music. Man what memories... Mark love brother

    I enjoyed this very much. You are a good host and Mark has such a heart for Jesus and I am glad he has forgiven those who hurt him in the past. A great lesson for all of us . Personally I think the only way for a GFR reunion is if Mel and Don get saved like Mark did many years ago. Anyway thx for sharing this .

    I cut my teeth on GFR. They are why I practiced guitar! I'm no where near what I should be,. but playing makes me happy. GFR started it all for me. SO SAD to lose such a band. Keep trying Mark. We all have faith in you and the band.
