NIGEL CROSS: The next time I saw you, you were playing with a certain ex-member of the MC5.
LARRY WALLIS: Wayne Kramer! Well, Stiff and Chiswick had just put out that Wayne Kramer benefit single, so we did a deal where Wayne came over and we all waived the money from the gig so he could be there. I couldn't believe when one Friday night Boss Goodman brought WAYNE KRAMER over to my flat. I'm sitting in my kitchen, there's loads of black dope and I can remember saying, "I can't believe I'm sitting in my kitchen with Wayne Kramer from the NCS."
NIGEL CROSS: So you'd never met him when Shagrat played Phun City?
LARRY WALLIS: No. I can remember sitting in the car, out of my brain on LSD, looking at the stage and watching the MC5, just thinking, "God everything that I could ever want to attain on electric guitar is up there."
