Rolling Stone originally named The MC5 album "Kick Out the Jams" a “ridiculous, overbearing, pretentious album.” Certainly the magazine had second thoughts: years later it named it one of the 500 best ever. And it called Wayne Kramer, my guest today, one of 100 greatest guitarists of all time. This year, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of" Kick Out the Jams," Kramer is back on the road. And the guitarist has written a memoir, "The Hard Stuff: Dope, Crime, The MC5 & My Life of Impossibilities."
