At this site he and his co-writers talk about many of the bands that have influnced their lives and had an effect on today's rock music. Shawn has a page dedicated to Grand Funk and their music that contains reviews of performances he has seen and some photo scans.

Steve Marshall has anoher e-zine site that he calls the Night Owl. This particular site concentrates on music reviews. And, of course, he has several Grand Funk Railroad reviews.

Some Grand Funk concert collectables used to be available through the Web at the ROCKTOYS! Web site. They had some tee-shirts from the 1996 reunion tour and they say that they hope to have more soon.

Another Web site that has Grand Funk collectibles is the Legends Concert Posters site.
