R.I.P. Michael Davis from MC5
I was sad to find out today about the death of MC5 bassist Michael Davis. I’ve been an MC5 fan for many years and I had the pleasure of working with Michael on an MC5 collaboration for OBEY Clothing. He was a very cool guy with a great family including his wife Angela(yes, Angela Davis, but no relation to the black activist) who once had me and my wife Amanda over for a lovely and fun family dinner with great rock and life stories. Michael started a non-profit organization called Music Is Revolution to keep music in public schools and I did the logo for him. I hope that the organization will continue his mission and my heart goes out to his family and loved ones. We’ll miss you Michael and we will always remember your musical and humanitarian contributions.
