Johnny Ramone

I know I'm the last person to blog the death of Johnny Ramone, but at least I'm giving you a multimedia experience.



I took these pictures circa 1992 when the Ramones played at the Smith Center on the campus of my alma mater, GW. I remember thinking at the time that I wished I had seen them when they were younger. It was a fun show, but even by then, the band had started to lose some of its luster. I'm glad I can say I saw them. From the moment I read about Johnny's death, I've had this song in my head.

Other folks are more respectful: Tony Pierce talks about listening to the Ramones every day. Ben Weasel talks about wanting to be Johnny.
