The first memoir by Wayne Kramer, legendary guitarist and cofounder of quintessential Detroit proto-punk legends The MC5 "Voyeuristically dramatic." -THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEWIn January 1969, before the world heard a note of their music, the MC5 was on the cover of Rolling Stone. Led by legendary guitarist Wayne Kramer, the band was a reflection of the times: exciting, sexy, violent, chaotic, and even out of control. The missing link between free jazz and punk rock, the MC5 toured the country, played alongside music legends, and had a rabid following, their music acting as the soundtrack to the blossoming blue collar youth movement. Kramer wanted to redefine what a rock 'n' roll group was capable of, and though there was power in reaching for that, it was also a recipe for personal and professional disaster. The band recorded three major label albums but, by 1972-it was all over. Kramer's story is (literally) a revolutionary one, but it's also the deeply personal struggle of an addict and an artist, a rebel with a great tale to tell. From the glory days of Detroit to the junk-sick streets of the East Village, from Key West to Nashville and sunny L.A., in and out of prison and on and off of drugs, Kramer's is the classic journeyman narrative, but with a twist: he's here to remind us that revolution is always an option.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Solid wallet. No nonsense.
Color: Black, Color: Black
This Timberland wallet is a straight-up beast.
The leather feels premium the second you touch it — not that cheap stiff stuff, but real, rugged leather that actually smells and feels like quality. It’s slim in the pocket but somehow holds everything: cards, cash, ID, no problem. No bulky mess, no awkward pocket bulge.
The RFID security is a serious upgrade. Knowing your cards are protected while you move around gives peace of mind you didn’t even know you needed. It’s like having a silent bodyguard for your money.
Stitching is clean, edges are solid, and the design is straight classic — masculine, sharp, and built to last. This isn’t a “replace next year” wallet… this is a “break it in and ride with it for years” kind of wallet.
If you want something tough, classy, and functional without looking like you’re trying too hard, this is it.
Timberland didn’t miss with this one.
🔥 Buy it once. Carry it forever.

Does not block RFID scanners
Does not block RFID scanners. I literally scan my badge into work every day through it. Other than that, they are nice wallets, but only last about 3 years before the leather starts crumbling off. This is the second one I have bought.
2 Stars because they only last about 3 years and does not block RFID scanning as advertised.

2nd time purchase in 7 years.10 stars!
This wallet design is fantastic. Compact, front or back pocket use. Has a ton of storage even though it doesn't look it. Last one lasted 7 years of abuse and use. I ordered 2 in case these never get made again. Grab one, best wallet and real durable leather, not fake leather.
