![]() ![]() 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. The band recorded three major label albums but, by 1972-it was all over. 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 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. Led by legendary guitarist Wayne Kramer, the band was a reflection of the times: exciting, sexy, violent, chaotic, and even out of control. In January 1969, before the world heard a note of their music, the MC5 was on the cover of Rolling Stone. “Voyeuristically dramatic.” – THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW ![]()

If you do not normally read nonfiction, you may be bored. ![]() This is a book that literally shows, not tells. McCloud illustrates the power of comics by showing the reader what it can do. Comics (or graphic novels, if you will) are multi-dimensional compared to a poem. It’s kind of like a poem about poetry, except that analogy fails, for poetry is limited to words. Thanks to a tweet from Nymeth, I found Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art by Scott McCloud, which is a nonfiction comic all about comics. It seemed odd to me, and although I’ve enjoyed the ones I’ve read, I didn’t understand it, I’m sorry to say. Why? Shouldn’t we focus on learning to read, not handing our teenager illustrations? But I admit that I still hadn’t completely understood the concepts behind writing a novel (or a memoir) with pictures. Since then, I’ve read a few graphic novels. But at Dewey’s urging, I gave some of them a try. In fact, in June 2008, I wrote a post explaining my confusion.

In Shamli this is lower than the rest of Uttar Pradesh – 878 women per 1,000 men – while the UP average is 912. It’s also a place where polarisation and chauvinism combine, highlighted most obviously by the district’s skewed sex ratio – or number of women to every thousand men. Shamli has been the epicentre of communal violence in 2013 and this raised its head once again during the four successive lockdowns, where Muslims were spoken of as ‘COVID-19 spreaders’. She is the first women to be put in charge of the district ever since it was carved out of Muzaffarnagar in Western UP in the year 2011.
