mc5: a true testimonial

a federal judge ruled in favor of the mc5: a true testimonial filmmakers in their messy legal squabble with mc5 gtrist wayne kramer over licensing of the band's music and kramer's claim that they reneged on a promise to employ him as music director. however, as the i-94 barman points out, the ruling doesn't mean kramer has to grant them the license, so the film still probably sleeps with the fishes. pity, as it's a great piece of cinema and a fine tribute to the five's legacy, and they say they have enough material in the can to make a new edit or dvd that's significantly different from the numerous bootleg copies floating around.
