"Punk Rock Republicans" POSTED BY MEGHAN
I am often asked what my favorite band of all time is, and for me it is an incredibly difficult decision - almost impossible. However, if I had to pick a band, it would probably be The Ramones. I have been a fan since around sixth grade when I first heard the song "I Want To Be Sedated" on the radio and was immediately hooked (I even had my first kiss while "Beat on the Brat" was playing in the background). The power, impact and influence of possibly the greatest band of all time and the inventors of punk rock is absolutely endless and infinitely spanning.
It is my great honor to announce that Linda Ramone, the wife of the late legend Johnny Ramone will be joining me to campaign for my father in Nevada on Monday and Tuesday. I couldn't be more excited and humbled if Elvis himself came out on the road with me. Looking forward to sharing with you what its like to campaign with a legend!
Song of the Day: "Beat on the Brat" by The Ramones

Johnny Ramone was great. When the Ramones were inducted into the Rock & Roll hall of fame, he thanked president Bush for all he had done to protect our nation after 9-11! The video pan into the audience was priceless. Rest in peace, Johnny.

I don’t know if I’d say best EVER, but pretty close.
Some may not remember this, but RUSH would get calls from all kinds... Marilyn Manson called Rush’s Show a couple times. Even the “Dead Kennedys” also called.
And other not so well known bands also called Rush... So you NEVER KNOW!!

Very cool!
Just forget about that "Bonzo Goes to Bitburg" song. (even though it was a pretty good song)
To: LibertyGrrrl
I gotta say I’m like so... impressed that no one has trashed your guys and girls thread yet.

Gabba Gabba HEY!!!
They're definitely one of my favorite bands and always put on a great show. They definitely don't make punk rockers like Johnny anymore.

Da Bruddas are second only to the Beach Boys in my R&R pantheon. I used to see them every time they came to town - what a band! RIP Johnny, Joey and Dee Dee.

The Dead Boys first LP is one of the all-time classics. "Sonic Reducer" is one heckuva song.
Now where did I put my Sham 69 LP?

People think its odd that Republicans listen to punk or alternative rock. I don’t why...plenty of us do. The music is good, we just ignore the craziest lyrics.
