..as I expect you get a ton of mail. But, having just read you're blog, I wanted to thank YOU. For not only being one of the biggest influences on me as a drummer for my whole life (born in '72) but as of recently, being as appreciative of your fans and knowing that you listen. I know it's not hard to hear 'em! When I read your words, I hear the voice of a true gentleman and Rock and Roll scholar.
I will be playing the rest of my life, no doubt about that. Only now I aspire to maintain the composure and wisdom you have, through wherever this kit brings me.
Thank you.

"Thank you Dennis for sharing your stories and your music with us. I'm sure I not the only one when I say it's an honor to be considered a friend. by you. Keep Kicking Em Out."
"Thank you for your music. It means alot to a lot of us. Glad we could all share your birthday with you."
"the pleasure is ours."
A belated happy birthday to you Dennis. My friend Bill Leist turned me onto, well a lot of things, but years ago he turned me onto the MC5 and recently he turned me on to the video of the 5 at Tartar Field- July 1970.
Man u were going thru ...those drum sticks like crazy. Everybody in the band was rockin!!!
There is nothing I have seen as powerful or more rockin or more the essence of rock n roll. After seeing that I am ready to Testify.
Thanks !!!!

Hello Dennis, I was a ticket taker at the ballroom, (top of the stairs with Dick Beaufait), had the distinct pleasure of hearing to you guys so very many times. I remember traveling to the England in the summer of 70, the London newspaper I picked up was "MC5 INVADES the UK". Made me feel good being from Detroit. Thank you, Greg (Gardo)

Thank you very much for adding me. Your Music is very special to me. From the Five to Ron's New Order & New Race. Thanks for the music. I also gain great pleasure out of hearing you speak out so boldly and truthfully with out giving a fuck about what an interviewer or anyone else may think. Setting the record straight for truths sake. Thank you. Michael
