Album Favorite

"Half the album's great, half the album's not so great - the jamming stuff. The MC5 sounded dangerous, and they looked it, too. They were serious: Wayne Kramer wasn't acting like a criminal, he was a criminal. There's a difference. They didn't joke around; they were serious about it, and it could be horrible. The first record was the good one. Their potential never developed into what it should have been, but there are always bands who never get to the next level, or who are never as good as their earliest material."

Probably the most famous of criminal duos is Bonnie and Clyde. Their spree of murder and theft ended up with a shoot-out that ended their young lives in the spring of 1934. In her debut novel, Jenni Walsh attempts to paint a fictional portrait of the woman who made up half of this team, from the sketchy information available, and no small amount of innovative flights of fancy on Walsh's part. Read my review of this historical fiction novel in my review here.
