The MC5 were one of the most influential and groundbreaking bands of the 1960s. With their raw, high-energy sound and their politically charged lyrics, they helped to define the sound and spirit of the counterculture movement. Kramer was the band's creative force, and his guitar playing was both innovative and incendiary.

But Kramer's life was also marked by personal turmoil. He struggled with addiction for many years, and he spent time in prison. After the MC5 broke up, he continued to play music, but he also worked as a drug counselor and a teacher. In recent years, he has become a respected elder statesman of the rock 'n' roll community.

Dope Crime is a candid and unflinching account of Kramer's life. He writes about his struggles with addiction, his time in prison, and his journey to redemption. He also writes about his love of music and his belief in the power of the counterculture movement.

Dope Crime is a must-read for fans of the MC5 and for anyone interested in the history of rock 'n' roll. It is a story of rebellion, redemption, and the power of music to change lives.
