He has an interesting memorial at the Hollywood Forever cemetery.
A “Thanks for the post!” BTTT !!
He was great guy. I saw him once in Greenwich village actually helping someone lift a piano through a top floor window if you can believe it, just like something you would see in a cartoon with ropes and winches but I was too speechless to say anything. I kicked myself for years after for not offering to help, still do. He was standing right there on the sidewalk pulling the rope. Him and Joey didn’t speak for years because Joey accused him of stealing his girl and Joey went and wrote that song “The KKK took my baby away” too stupid to realize it was the Democrats who were the KKK.
Wow!
That band had an interesting concept - each new person in the band had to agree to take on the stage name of “ramone”. None of those guys last name was ramone. Cool.
In the spirit of freedom and the hard work that goes with it, Johnny Ramone was an absolute punk music hero.
Johnny is rumored to have said, “Ronald Reagan was the best president of my lifetime”.

He did say that about Reagan. There’s a documentary I forget the name, that goes through their whole history and shows one of their last tours in South America and he says that right on tape in an interview about his Conservative beliefs. It was a very odd pairing....He was in a band with 2 heroin addicts, one alcoholic and he was clean as a whistle..never drank, smoked, did drugs and he gets cancer. Go figure.

Loved The Ramones. Here’s one of my favorite Johnny Ramone articles- talking about being a true rebel in a rebel’s world (a conservative punk)

Just a 10 minute drive from me and the entire Loco Live album is on my mp3 player.
Alice Cooper (real name Vincent Furnier) offstage is one of
the straightest people around
Conservative Republican
Puts on great show....
Are you in the Los Feliz area?
That's how I got started as a Republican, too. I was seven years old at the time.
Plus, living in the city of Chicago, I didn't like Democrats because of the Daley machine.
Hollywood.
*bump*
Santa Monica here.
Hey cut Joey a lil slack. He did the best he could with what he was given.
I can’t believe there are Freepers in Sta Monica until now. I was going to ask you how you cope with more libtards in your area than mine..
