Led by legendary guitarist Wayne Kramer the band was a reflection of the times: exciting sexy violent chaotic and even out of control. The missing link between free jazz and punk rock the MC 5 toured the country played alongside music legends and had a rabid following their music acting as the soundtrack to the blossoming blue collar youth movement. Kramer wanted to redefine what a rock 'n roll group was capable of and though there was power in reaching for that it was also a recipe for personal and professional disaster. The band recorded three major label albums but by 1972 - it was all over. Kramer's story is (literally) a revolutionary one but it's also the deeply personal struggle of an addict and an artist a rebel with a great tale to tell. From the glory days of Detroit to the junk - sick streets of the East Village from Key West to Nashville and sunny L. A. in and out of prison and on and off of drugs Kramer's is the classic journeyman narrative but with a twist: he's here to remind us that revolution is always an option.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Hard Stuff : Dope Crime The Mc 5, And My Life Of Impossibilities\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780306921520\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 320 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 7\/21\/2020\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Book Delivered","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49587536691505,"sku":"IN-G-9780306921520","price":28.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780306921520-the-hard-stuff-dope-crime-the-mc-5-and-my-life-of-impossibilities","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
