MC5.

A very good read.

MC50 at Roseland. Portland, Oregon.

"In the late sixties Wayne Kramer and his brothers in the MC5 launched a heroic high energy rock and roll assault on US culture in an attempt to bring down the government with a gonzoid manifesto of 'dope, rock and roll and fucking in the streets'... Their revolution ended in mess of being kicked off two record labels, the band breaking up, some members descending into heroin addiction and prison. They never had a hit record, but the three classic albums they made, and their high energy philosophy/mythology inspired bands/artists like the Stooges, The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Ramones, Johnny Thunders, Dr Feelgood, The Patti Smith Group, Sonic Youth, Primal Scream and Julian Cope. The MC5 and Brother Wayne have given me spiritual strength, their music and religious belief in the power of rock and roll as a transformative and revolutionary force continues to influence rock and rollers all over the world. Read this book and be inspired!" - Bobby Gillespie • #waynekramer #thehardstuff #brotherwaynekramer #60s #TheMC5 #Detroit #KickOutTheJams #rocknroll #whitepantherparty #autobiography #book #vinyl #nowspinning #vinyligclub #vinylcollection #nowplaying #recordcollection #recordplayer #vinyladdict #vinyljunkie #recordcollector #vinylcollector #records #instavinyl #booklover #bookstagram (presso Bologna, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/BouU8JHCraZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kabh490oddru
