Forgive all the what-might-seem hero worship…

Today Detroit-born guitarist Wayne Kramer, founding member of the MC5 (among other achievements and misadventures), would have celebrated his 76^th^ birthday. Unfortunately, being a mere human like ~~all~~ ~~most~~ some of us, pancreatic cancer took his life earlier this year, February 2, 2024, a mere two months ago.

I'd already written what I had to say regarding Wayne's career and his legacy in an earlier post. So today, in honor of Mr Kramer's would-have-been 76^th^, I leave you all with…

RIP, Brother Wayne.
