Howard stern related to joey ramone biography

I guess good news travels fast. Well not fast enough because, I was waiting over three years for any word of a biopic about one of my favorite Punk Bands- The Ramones!

Yeah, i'm not too crazy about Pete Davidson being cast as the band's lead vocalist front man and counterculture icon, Joey Ramone but at this point, beggars can't be choosers! Queen had Bohemian Rhapsody, Motley Crue dived into The Dirt and as for David Bowie..Stardust??? Ahem and now, it's The Ramones' turn! Gabba Gabba hey!

If someone were to ask, where was I when learned of Joey's passing?

It was around Easter April 2001, when I was driving my Girlfriend at the time, to her parents in Staten Island, and this is where I received the sobering news from the Car's radio-that, Joey Ramone has succumbed to his long battle with Lymphoma!

This was a gut punch as Joey was the Godfather of Punk, a subgenre of Rock known for its fast riffs, aggressive energy, and brutal angst against the system! Yes, this music spoke to me and spoke from me.

The Ramones, along with The Clash, The Damned, TSOL, Black Flag, Bad Brains, DOA and of course, The Misfits were the bands I often patronized and followed despite being unceremoniously being late to the movement. Sowwies, I'm a Gen Xer, so sue me. 😜
