In January 1969, before the world heard a note of their music, The MC5 was on the cover of Rolling Stone. Here’s the text they’ve got on the book’s Amazon page in order to help sell it to the masses: In celebration of the band’s 50th anniversary, guitarist Wayne Kramer is reviving the band for what he’s describing as the MC50 Tour, but that’s not all he’s doing: he’s also releasing his memoir, The Hard Stuff: Dope, Crime, The MC5 & My Life of Impossibilities. The idea of a band making it onto the cover of Rolling Stone before the world at large has even heard their music is something that would bring out the cynicism in just about any rock critic, but The MC5 – who, in case you hadn’t figured it out, were the band in question – delivered the good and became rock legends.
