    the original 4 are gone now, shocking that Tommy was the only one that died due to drug overdose. The rest cancer got.

    Punk is gone, now replaced by corporate music packaged for the masses.

    What's almost more shocking is the fact that the other three have been gone for a decade or more. Joey's passing seems like last year to me. Sad.

    In the fall of 1978, several of my fellow suburban high school outcasts skipped our afternoon classes and headed downtown to get in line for the Ramones autograph signing at a local record store which started at 5pm. There were already 50 people ahead of us.

    Man oh man did I get in trouble from my parents. Totally worth it. Thank god they didn't learn of it for two days. So I still got to see the Ramones in concert the night before I was busted.

    Marky took over from Tommy in early 1978 and I'm pretty sure it was Marky who was at the autograph signing, not Tommy. I'll have to dig out my autographs and check.

    At the concert, I was backstage for a while because I knew the opening act, BB Gabor. But Ramones manager Linda Stein(who was murdered in 2007) had me tossed when she caught me wandering around backstage. Still, I met the Ramones backstage again and they were awesome and nice to this really geeky high school kid.

    The concert was awesome and I am glad I had the opportunity to experience them live.
