    "comment": "Along with MC5 drummer Dennis \"Machine Gun\" Thompson, we lost Wayne Kramer founding member of MC5 passed away on Februarys 2nd 2024 at the age of 75. \n\nAs a teenager, Kramer, alongside friend Fred “Sonic” Smith, co-founded the iconic band MC5, which stood for Motor City Five, in the mid-Sixties.\nMC5 rose to prominence as the house band at Detroit’s Grande Ballroom in 1967. John Sinclair, a left-wing activist, became the band’s manager, and the group aligned itself with the White Panther Party and adopted a politically charged stance. Their live performances, notably at the 1968 Democratic National Convention protests, solidified their reputation as a fierce and influential act.\nIn 1969, after the band signed to Elektra, Kramer and company returned to Detroit and its Grande Ballroom to record what would become their hit debut album “Kick Out the Jams.”\nThe band’s distorted brand of grunge rock and the live LP’s rallying cry of “Kick out the jams, motherfuckers,” made the group quite controversial.\n\nhttps://nypost.com/2024/02/02/entertainment/wayne-kramer-dead-mc5-co-founder-and-activist-was-75/",
