END OF THE CENTURY INDEED
Oh Johnny, that stance, legs spread, guitar at your knees, your strumming hand never seemed to move. How you could remember all those songs? I saw you do 30 songs in an hour once. I will miss you Johnny. My nephew, who loves you dearly, never got to see the sparse stage set, the leather and denim, the converse low tops, the Marshall stacks and the Moserite. "1,2,3,4.", "Gabba Gabba Hey", "D.U.M.B. everones accusin' me". Only Tommy and Marky (Ederlyi and Bell, drummer number one and two repectively)) survive. Who wants to be an old punk anyway. Say hi to Joey and Dee Dee for me.
"Hangin out on Second Avenue
Eating chicken vindaloo
I just want to be with you
I just want to have something to do"

When I heard about Johnny dying, I thought about you...
What a loss, I'm listening to "Gabba Gabba Hey" while I write this.
They're all finally back together.
Rock on

Must be the East River water... Sorry to see another icon go. I think the best thing about these guys is that they essentially played and recorded music for fun. I doubt any member of the Ramones ever had a bad time while playing out. I'm humbled to have had the opportunity to see them a few times and recall having a blast at each show. You never had to worry about getting hushed at a Ramones show.
RIP Johnny...

I haven't seen the movie yet (End Of The Century), but apparently it was not all fun and games for them. Certainly the shows and records were fun for us, but it was hard work, and alot of drug misery for them.
