It's awful to see yet another Ramone go, but MTX was dead-on target with that song even 10-15 years ago and that kind of takes away the sting of it. MTX themselves did nothing but go downhill when Jon left the band and they lost that gritty, grinding rhythm guitar that totally made them great.
Back in my college radio days, I'd play "end of the ramones" back to back with "Rock n' Roll High School"
