Marshall Rubinoff (7-5-44 — 7-7-68) In memoriam

Marshall Rubinoff, former Fifth Estate rock and roll columnist, died of injuries sustained in an accident while he was riding his motorcycle in San Francisco July 7.

Marshall was known in this area for his work as lead singer and rhythm guitarist for the second edition of the Spikedrivers. While he was with the band he wrote much of their material. He left Detroit for San Francisco shortly after the Spikedrivers broke up and after trying unsuccessfully to form a new band here.

No, you haven’t missed an issue; this is Vol. 17, No. 2 and is our second issue of the year (see P. 1 story for more on this). Also, there is no Vol. 16; we skipped it to have the volume numbers correspond with our first year of publication-1965.
