FKNA.

I had a part in Rock and Roll High School, but blew it off cause it was snowing in Tahoe. Sometimes I wish I would have hung around and done it. First Joey, now Johnny.

I just queued up my MP3 jukebox with Ramones(only way to listen to this - LOUD) - a great cover of "Palisades Park" cranked to shake the windows:

Last night I took a walk in the dark
To a place called Palisades Park
To have some fun, to see what I could see
That's where the girls are

I took a ride on the shoopty shoop
The girl I sat with almost, almost puked
And when it stopped, she was holding hands with me

My arms were flying up, like a rocket ship
Down, like a roller coaster
Fast, like a loopty loop
Then around, like a merry-go-round
We even ate a hot dog stand
Slam danced to a rockin' band
And when she winked, I gave that girl a hug
In the tunnel of love

You'll never know how good it just can feel
'Til it stops at the top of the ferris wheel
I fell in love, down at Palisades Park

Wow, I heard it here first. The best band I ever saw live.

I heard the rumours, but jeez....

R.I.P. Johnny.

Ramones did rock live. Once I worked security on-stage at one of their shows, throwing people back into the crowd, that was pretty cool.

There's a new Ramones documentary out, "The End of The Century", it got a favorable review in the Style section of today's Washington Post.
