This photo is 1969 writ large... the hippy dream unraveling, too many hard drugs, increased radicalisation and some kick-ass rock'n'roll.

Legendary MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer has died at 75. You may not know the MC5, but I’ll bet everyone knows the opening to their 1969 album Kick Out The Jams… “Right now, right now it’s time to, kick out the jams motherfuckers”. Which was sampled by the equally brilliant KLF on What Time Is Love? Almost as well known for constantly being arrested for drug dealing as his amazing powerhouse guitar sound, he reformed the MC5 under various guises, before embarking on a hit and miss (more miss to be honest) solo career. I’m willing to bet that I’m the only one here who likes him, and he looked amazing in his pomp. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfKhvzUdJoM |

Surely (disturbingly) I must have been lurking at the back of your mind when you posted that..... I was always impressed/baffled by the fact that the album cover had something about 'spiritual guidance by ....' whoever. Perhaps he was their dealer. |

Now there's someone worth researching right there. |
