2. I definitely need to be sedated

Nothing to do, nowhere to go....


As a kid in middle school, I quite frequently dreamed that Joey Ramone was my bus driver. Where did that come from? :rofl:

[rppper]

3. god i miss the ramones......

R.I.P. Joey, Dee Dee and Johnny....

[Rambis]

4. Kids were watching a cartoon

the other day and "I dont' wanna walk around with you" came on and the kids went nuts! They both loved the song so we are going to pull out the old Ramones albums, yes I said album (round vinyl disk with grooves in it)and play them.

6. Have you seen "End of the Century"?

They've been showing it on Showtime (I think) all this month...really good documentary about the Ramones.

I'll have to check my old ticket stub for the date, but I saw the Ramones in Baltimore (at Hammerjacks) years ago. One of the best (and loudest!) shows I ever saw.

7. Yeah, I saw it a while back

And Johnny Ramone's review was accurate... it was kind of disturbing.

It's a damn shame that 3/4 of the original Ramones are dead and music is now in the hands of corporate shills. :(

11. "I remember you". One of my favorite early Ramones songs.

oh and "gimme gimme shock treatment!!!"

Just saying that makes me want to jump in a pit and slam my brains out!! LOL

"I don't want to be a pinhead no more, I just met a nurse that I could go for!!"

I play world of warcraft (I know, geek) and my toon's name is Joeyramone. :) LOL

Man, I miss the old days of seeing the Ramones at the old Ritz or at Irving Plaza. ahhhh those were the days.

[ghostsofgiants]

15. I Wanna Be Sedated (funny MTV style video)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FxaJKm9sdI

I want to study this video, see how many characters I can identify. (eg Charlie Chaplin?)

My greatest regrets related to rock & roll:

Never saw the Ramones live or even any of that NY punk club scene at all.

Never saw Dylan live until early 70's although we practically coexisted in NYC in the early 60's.

Never saw Bo Diddley live.

I missed a lot of greats live.... Elvis, Hendrix, The Doors, Janis, etc. etc. but their time with us was cut short, so I kind of did not have as much opportunity as the above three.

16. Love the RAMONES...

Their music truly inspired me and millions of others...

I was in love with Jeff/Joey....

When I was young housewife I told my husband I was in love with Joey..
He just smiled and said that it was 'OK'..

AHA...If he only knew...

When we were in New York in April we visited Joey's graveside
and also went to Forest Hills and hung out for awhile.
