MC5 - Gold again

In 1972, the MC5 had three songs used on a soundtrack for a long forgotten film entitled Gold. It turns out that this film will be getting the reissue treatment at the end of July. As it says on IMDB, the tagline for the film was "A turned on tale of the new American dream." Okay... If you can tell me what this means after watching the trailer below you're a better man than I.

Although it will be interesting to hear the MC5's music in the context of the movie, something tells me the music itself is the best part. If you want to skip the movie, pick up a copy of Babes In Arms from ROIR - a long in-print compilation of MC5 rarities that is out of this world.
