Rock & Roll - CIRCUS style - March 1975

Here's what was important to CIRCUS Magazine editors for their March 1975 edition -
* Genesis and its 'Lamb Lies Down on Broadway' UStour
* KISS - (more sold copies with KISS on the cover somewhere
* Ringo Starr - Goodnight Vienna puff piece
* The Guess Who - 'battles obscurity' is right!
* and from the same issue - an interview with Mark Farner (Grand Funk Railroad)- excerpt below image)

Circus: How big a farm do you have now?
Farner: I have 190 acres.
Circus: What types of animals do you have on your farm?
Farner: Horses, cattle and pigs. Cats and dogs too.
Circus: If you weren't into music, would you be a full-time farmer?
Farner: Oh, most definitely. That's what I'm workin' for, man. When I get out of music, I'm gonna be into farmin'.
Circus: Does rock and roll interfere with farm-life?
Farner: Yeah, it does to a certain extent. But we usually book our tours around the hayin' season. That's when I have to be here. And plantin' season.
Circus: You know if you changed the 'n' in your name to 'm', you'd be Mark Farmer.
Farner: That's right.
Circus: You're literally a rock farmer.
Farner: Yeah, that's about it.
