The first memoir by Wayne Kramer, legendary guitarist and cofounder of quintessential Detroit proto-punk legends The MC5 "Voyeuristically dramatic." -THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEWIn January 1969, before the world heard a note of their music, the MC5 was on the cover of Rolling Stone. 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 MC5 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.

Great cotton t-shirts for girls and boys
Special Size: T Shirt, Size: 4-5T, Color: T Shirt - Toddler - 6 Pack - White
These say they are for boys. Really, they are just plain t-shirts. Bought and tie dyed for an adorable little girl in my life. Very soft, and the cotton absorbed the dye well. Recommended for all girls and boys.

Good
Number of Items: 3, Color: Grey/Blue/Sea, Size: Medium
Really good quality for everyday wear. The fabric is soft and comfortable, and the shirts are true to size. They hold up well after washing and don’t shrink. Perfect basic tees for kids — easy to mix and match and great value for the price.

Size up, great quality
Number of Items: 3, Color: Grey/Blue/Sea, Size: X-Small
I ordered the XS and I have to say they run small. They fit my 2 year old not 6 year old. So size up. But honestly love the quality of Amazon essential shirts. I buy these for my kids pjs they are very soft

Comfy and Cool Shark Shirt
Number of Items: 1, Color: Ivory Sharks, Size: X-Small
We live near the beach, so I love finding ocean themed clothing for my little grandson. He loves this colorful swimming sharks crew neck t-shirt. He says it looks "cool." The cotton blend material is soft and and gentle against his skin. It's breathable and slightly stretchy. . The stitching is straight and consistent with no loose threads. We have fun talking about the different sharks, and the shirt looks great with his everyday jeans, joggers, or shorts. If you want some growing room, I suggest ordering a size up. The 5T is just a little long and roomy in the shoulders for my grandson who usually wears size 4. For laundering, I turn the shirt inside out and wash on cold to preserve the print. I haven't noticed any shrinkage or fading. I've been drying it on a warm setting (though cool is ideal), but I’m pretty careful not to leave it in the dryer too long to avoid wrinkles. He's been wearing it since his birthday in February, and so far, it's kept its shape, and seems to resist stains. If you have a little one that loves sharks, this check out this comfy ocean themed crew neck.
