Memoir release date confirmed for MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer
Wayne Kramer, the founding member and guitarist of Detroit proto-punk outfit MC5, is set the mark the fiftieth anniversary of his debut album, Kick Out the Jams, with a memoir.
The book, entitled ‘The Hard Stuff: Dope, the MC5 and My Life of Impossibilities’, will chronicle the beginnings of MC5, Kramer’s discovery of Rock & Roll and his abusive childhood.
Along with usual tales of Rock & Roll excesses, there are elements of radical politics to MC5's rise, including stories relating to FBI surveillance and the White Panther Party.
