The late Brother Wayne Kramer's narration of his life was a liminal listening experience. Hearing his voice made him alive, even though I knew he wasn't.

Easter egg for #AudioMemoir series followers: Both Kramer and Evan Dando tell versions of the story in which Kramer fired Dando from an MC5 reunion tour.

New Larry's 100 Review in the #AudioMemoir series:

Evan Dando reads his own book.

Funny, honest, soulful. He takes an unflinching look at punk privilege, the alterna-hunk years, and decades of addiction. No redemption arc. No apology tour. Just warmth, talent, and brutal honesty.
