In 1987 I was 26 years old and stationed at Randolph Air Force Base. I went to La Semana to see Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad play. I meet Mark before the show and got his autograph.Mark said it was going to be a really hot show. Before the show one of Mark's band members talked with me about how Mark and his wife Lesia had separated but while at 2 separate churches on a Sunday morning, Mark rededicated his life to Jesus and while Lesia was praying that they would get back together.

Halfway through the concert Mark began to share his Christian testimony lifting up Jesus. The tall skinny dude right in front of me began to shout let's throw these Jesus Freaks off the stage.He shouted out a nasty as can be joke about Jesus. I told him to stop we wanted to hear what the man has to say. He called the ladies next to me bad names and spit in my face. He then picked up a beer bottle and threw it onto the stage.On the right side of the stage a couple more beer bottles were thrown. The vast majority of the crowd respectfully supported Mark The guy in front of me picked up another bottle but I physically stopped him. He tried to choke me but it did not go well for him. He ended up with his face on the ground before walking away. I don't believe in unnecessary violence, but sometimes violent people need to be stopped. Jesus is Lord! and Mark and Lesia are still together after all these years!

Default mark farner

I saw Grand Funk Railroad when they visited San Antonio early 70's. Of course they were great. I also caught that show in 1987 at La Semana. It was a great concept and I saw many bands at semana. Too bad they don't do it anymore.
