One might watch this stunning performance by the MC5 and think: those guys are rocking like motherfuckers. One would be only half correct. The MC5 are also showing us how to live, and, more specifically, how we might best approach any human endeavor. First, inform all concerned parties and observers that you are the maximum utmost. Second, immediately support your claim with action. Do this twice, and then surprise everyone with an unexpected, stylistic parting flourish.

The first two numbers establish the band's unmitigated magnificence, but the singularity begins its white-hot process at 6:17 with "Looking at You."   Guitar god Wayne Kramer first shimmies some mock Mick Jagger/James Brown moves before he lights up the universe with a blistering solo. Kramer continues taunting the audience with an “oh ye of little faith” smirk, and wows them again with an even hotter solo. (The camera sometimes lingers on Fred "Sonic" Smith, but Kramer is doing the solo heavy lifting.) At 9:42, Kramer’s spin-and-drop for the conclusion brings it all home to Daddy. "How do you like me now?" has been asked by deed, not word. Front man Rob Tyner codifies the entire process with a line for the ages: “Doin’ alright, doin’ alright, yeah!” Can’t argue with his logic—nor his flared trousers, white boots, and afro.

Women With the Top Down update Faye Dunaway contemplates the terrain that Steve McQueen will be shredding in his Meyers Manx, an insanely fast dune-buggy hybrid of a Volkswagen, a Corvair, and any of your large feline predators. About one minute into the run, it will be obvious that Miss Dunaway’s scarf was a futile gesture.

Valentine: Remember the very first time we went out? It was way different from the very last time we went out.

My therapist says I need to “get back to reality,” but I’d rather be with you, Valentine!

They say the heart is a lonely hunter, but experienced predators never worry about that. Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine, sometimes we are so perfect together and then I wake up.

Valentine: I know ringing your doorbell at 3 a.m. can seem like an emergency. But it's not really an emergency if you planned it.

Valentine, I'm perfect for you and you're perfect for me! Actually, I'm perfect for a lot of people, but still.

All the special words you've said to me — even the whispers — are forever etched in my mind, Valentine. Plus I have a device that records everything.

I'm so glad I found you again, Valentine! I knew I would. I can find anyone. Anywhere.

I always look forward to that special phone call each Valentine's Day! It doesn't even have to be from you.

Inappropriate touching, sexual comments, and flirting have no place in the office. That's why it's so great we aren't at work right now.

On this Valentine's Day, all the love is coming your way. I mean, surely there's someone who can give you that.

Valentine, you complete me! Which means you'll need to be 90% of this whole deal.
