I wanna be sedated
This is sad news. Joey Ramone is dead, at 49 years old.
I remember first hearing these guys at the tender age of 13. At first I thought it was complete junk, then I realised: of course! the very fact that it was junk was the entire point.
The opening chords of "Rockaway Beach" are my aroma of madeleines - viffing me back through rich strata of memory to some of the best moments of school and college. I still cherish my old 12" copy of "Road to Ruin". Banana yellow vinyl - most appropriate.
Wish I still had some rip-kneed Levi's and Ray Bans to wear in mourning...
