Battle of the Bands “And right now. . .right now. . .right now it’s time to. . .kick out the jams, motherfuckers!” --MC5, “Kick Out the Jams” (1969) In photographs of and posters for the MC5 the American flag is rather prominent, as it was in the band’s performances. Wayne Kramer’s guitar has the Stars and Stripes as a motif. The MC5 was sometimes referred to as the “house band” for the White Panther Party. https://gloriousnoise.com/2026/battle-of-the-bands
