Every time I read anything about Joey Ramone I hear it as Noel Fielding narrating the life of claymation Joey on Luxury Comedy <3. “It’s a funny old world…”
randomly enough, found myself at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Sunday with some time to kill. oh look, Joey Ramone is buried here (so is Dee Dee). checked out the gravesite, pretty cool. then a few steps away, oh look, it’s Chris effing Cornell’s gravesite (was Soundgarden fan back in the day). anyway, that’s all.
It’s pretty crazy just how different the members of the ramones were from one another and how they managed to make that work for so long. Johnny Ramone was a die hard Republican and Joey felt like Johnny stole his girlfriend Linda, Dee Dee was of course junkie supreme on par with Johnny Thunders and tried his hand at rapping, Marky was pretty normal though I think, someone will probably tell me I’m wrong though
Years ago I lived in the same building in the East Village as Joey – would see him around – in the elevator or at the bagel store. Friends would show up for a visit and be gobsmacked – I would be like “we’re you in the elevator with Joey?” “Yeah – i was looking down when he got in, but I recognized him by his sneakers!”
The face of God

How did that geeky kid become one of the coolest MoFos that ever lived
Joey originally played drums in the Ramones before becoming the singer. The guy was multi-talented.
Is that a Kay guitar?

I thought it was Paul from The Wonder Years for a sec
America’s department store chains made a fortune selling cheap guitars, thanks to the Beatles.

And he kept that theme going for the rest of his life.
“I wanna get my homework graded..”
Sittin’ there in Queens, eatin’ refried beans.
