“The Hard Stuff” Wayne Kramer Memoir Review
Recently on my grand adventures of going to my local second hand bookstore shopping that i try to do as often as I can, I came across Wayne Kramer’s memoir. As an avid Punk rock and MC5 fan, I did not know that this existed and so I was Intrigued to pick it up and read it for myself. 
Tumblr media
A Little background on Wayne Kramer for anyone not familiar with him or MC5, Wayne was the Guitarist of Motor City Five (MC5). The band formed in Detroit, Michigan in 1963. The band Consisted of Members Rob Tyner (Vocals), Wayne Kramer (Guitar) , Fred “Sonic” Smith (Guitar) , Michael Davis (Bass), and Dennis Thompson (Drums). MC5 Established their sound with anti-establishment lyrics which innovated them as Pioneers of the Punk Rock Movement. Their Most well known song is “Kick Out the Jams”. 
First Impressions: My first impressions reading Wayne’s Memoir, I was unsure of what to think. Many people were very Critical of the memoir as they felt like Wayne didn’t really talk about Much of what like most documentaries would talk about bands like the history of the bands. They felt like him talking about his life at parts were boring. To me however, the purpose of a memoir, particularly for a musician to talk about their experiences for a band it needs a background on how they got into that band. For Wayne in particular, it happened to be his environment he was in, growing up in Detroit at a town where a city where crime was at it’s peak, everyone was getting arrested for the littlest things. Racism was also very common in the 60′s and this made Wayne Frustrated by that. he couldn’t understand why everyone couldn’t be treated equally. being around this environment as a teen and in your 20′s is what is the particular background for the lyrics behind MC5 and the lifestyle they wanted to show in their music. They wanted to be raw and Original as Possible. 
My favorite parts: 
One of my favorite parts of the Memoir without spoiling it for anyone, is how much Wayne didn’t realize how much of a impact his band had on the Punk Movement until He Met Joe Strummer and Mick Jones of The Clash. Wayne had never considered himself a punk legend in his his own mind, as MC5 to him had crashed in and burned due to the fact that they couldn’t keep a steady band together, the band was very political and Labels were afraid to have them. Also the fact that Wayne also had a few drug charges and to his name. I also think the coolest thing about this is that the clash had a song called “Jail Guitar Doors” written about Wayne. 
throughout the years, Wayne talks about the many musicians he has played with for charity concerts some being musicians such as William Duvall, Jerry Cantrell, Tom Morello, Billy Bragg, etc. some of the performances have been playing for inmates. after concerts, he tries to talk with inmates and hearing their stories and telling them about how music can be as a coping mechanism and a source as an outlet for anyone to get them out of anyone out of trouble. 
Overall : 
If you want to learn more about the background of Wayne and who he is as a person, this is a good book to read. if you want to learn about the lyrical background of MC5, this isn’t the book. this book is particularly one member’s experience of a good and a bad experience of a band at their high and their lows. 
Book Start: July 30, 2022 
Book End: August 20, 2022 
Rating: 8.5/10

Bridgerton - Like You Haven’t Seen It Before!
I created this edit using the sound effects in Bridgerton. They are timed to the music which creates a whole new viewing experience. I promise this is a type of edit you have never seen before.
I posted this a day before the trailer came out, but I wanted to wait a bit for the hype to die down. Please give a like/comment if you like it. The YouTube algorithm buried this one.

i never posted my Atta Boy photos (hell, i barely took any in LA), but i figured closing night of their tour was as good a time as any. i had the most amazing time, and everyone was so unbelievably sweet and funny and kind. these were two of the most incredible nights of my life, and i absolutely sobbed after both shows. i love them so much.
also, thank you forever @cherished-little-cannoli for joining me! 💖
all my own photos. please don't repost without permission or credit 🙏🏼

Bill Pullman was truly just the sweetest man. we chatted a bit about the show, and A Steady Rain, and you could just see how proud he is of Lew, and it's beyond wholesome. they're such a beautiful family. 💖
i'm including this photo from @pullman-lewis because Lewis is holding the letter i wrote him 🥹😭
Tumblr media
i'm also devastated that i wasn't conscious enough to get a photo with Graham Patrick Martin, who showed up to support Lew. when i told him i love how they support each other's endeavors, he literally said, "besties for life!" 🥰
(GPM also remembered me from A Steady Rain 😭)
Jamie Wollrab and Josh Brolin were also there, but i didn't get photos with either of them. in my defense, i find Josh Brolin wildly intimidating (for no reason. he seems lovely). i did, however, talk to Jamie again, and he's an absolute gem! 😊
anyways, i'll go cry in a corner now.

So a lot of viewers (including me) seem to be wondering about Reynolds, the King’s Man & Brimsley’s love interest.  Especially we see Brimsley in present day Bridgerton but we don’t see Reynolds (well, we don’t really see much of the King so that’s one reason).  And the final images of them dancing together when they were young and Brimsley dancing but alone, are a bit heartbreaking.
There is however a deleted scene which supposedly answers why Brimsley & Reynolds are no longer together (or maybe, even why Reynolds is no longer there?).   While they never said what the scene was about, what leapt out at me was that they emphasized that homosexuality was illegal and that was a big reason why they weren’t together anymore.  Which makes me sad because they were a great pairing, and a fun little contrast to the intensity of the main pairing.
Anyway, this makes me lose hope in getting a bi Benedict with a male love interest.  I mean, sure, he can have a male lover but that’s not what I wanted.
