Un altro Ramone ci ha lasciati...

Los Angeles, CA (September 15, 2004) -- Johnny Ramone, co-founder and lead guitarist of seminal 70’s punk rock band The Ramones, died in his sleep this afternoon at 3:03 pm in his home in Los Angeles. Ramone had been fighting an ongoing five year battle with prostate cancer. At the time of his death, Ramone was surrounded by friends and family that included his wife Linda Cummings, Eddie and Jill McCormack, Rob and Sherrie Zombie, John Frusciante and Robert Carmine. Additional friends who gathered at the home included Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Lockwood, Pete Yorn, Vincent Gallo, Steve Jones, Talia Shire, Gia Coppola and Jackie Getty. Johnny Ramone, whose real name was Johnny Cummings, co-founded The Ramones in 1974 along with fellow bandmates Joey Ramone, DeeDee Ramone and Tommy Ramone, the only surviving member of the original band. The band, which gained critical acclaim and a huge following in New York’s underground music scene at the time performing at clubs such as CBGB’s, is widely credited for bringing the “punk rock” genre to the forefront. The Ramones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002. Johnny Ramone is survived by his wife Linda Cummings and his mother Estelle Cummings. His body will be cremated during a private ceremony.

Sheena Is A Punk Rocker
 
Well the kids are all hopped up and ready to go now
- they're ready to go now
They got their surfboards and they're headed to the
discotheque a go go
But she just couldn't stay
She had to break away
Well New York City really has it all
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
Sheena is a punk rocker
Sheena is a punk rocker
Sheena is a punk rocker now

Idem.
Sono legato ai Ramones poichè la bellezza di quasi 25 anni fa (ero poco più che un bimbino) furono una delle prime band assieme ai Clash che mi fecero abbandonare il pattume musicale per ascoltare qualcosa di potente e diverso...

Hey Ho, Let's Go!

ho avuto modo di conoscere i Ramones grazie alle varie Anthologies che sono state pubblicate...i loro riff e le loro schitarrate distorte mi hanno subito conquistata...
tra i miei pezzi preferiti ricordo THE KKK TOOK MY BABY AWAY, NOW I WANNA SNIFF SOME GLUE, PET SEMATARY e SHE'S A SENSATION...

mi associo a fergus e moris. sheena will always be a punk rocker, come noi vecchietti del resto...
ma dov'è andata a finire la nostra giuventù, in un cimitero per cani e gatti?
i do want 2 live my life again!!!

Now that's what I call una sfiga stramaledetta!
