Blissed Out on the Ramones
Man, VH1 Classic is running Ramones Raw right now. I had to finally turn it off and make myself get my computer in order for the night so I can head off to bed. It was hard. The Ramones are my absolutely most iconic rock group. They personify my youth, my teens, my innocence. I cried for 8 hours straight the day Joey died. I just sat in front of my computer listening to Ramones songs and bawling. That signified an end of an era for me.
It’s so hard for me to look at concert footage and remember that Joey, Johnny, and Dee Dee are all gone. In my heart, they are so alive that I almost forget sometimes. They’re my boys. I feel young and happy and free and alive when I am listening to the Ramones.
God bless them.
