New exhibit to accompany your Metly travels this season opens on Sunday. [url]http://www.queensmuseum.org/2016/01/hey-ho-lets-go-2 I just finished reading Marky's memoir, which came out last year. He seems very willing to cast himself as the hero in many of the stories he tells but was probably the "normalest" of the band's members and though he's pretty rough at times on his mates Joey (B.O., drugs, crippling OCD); Dee Dee (voracious appetite for drugs, foolish); Johnny (abusive, unkind) he's also sweet on them. I'd be interested in reading other Ramones books if anyone can recommend one. There's a lot.

I don't see how the Mets can afford not to get involved in this 40th anniversary bidness.

Johnny being a big MFY fan, for one.

No doubt. But the Mets can still appropriate — regional rights and all. I mean, I don't see the Yankees making a move.

I have Lobotomy - Surviving the Ramones and Ramones - An American Band if you want to borrow them. We'll see each other at game soon, I'm sure. I'm cracking up, I opened up R-AAB and was like crap I didn't remember that this was signed and I read the inscription: "Hey Hey My My, Rock n Roll will never die. Keep on rockin' in the free world! -- Best Wishes, Stevie Ramone.

The dvd End of the Century - The Story of the Ramones is really good too. I'm sure a bigger library probably has it. "It's accurate, It left me disturbed." -- Johnny Ramone

I am still prone to remembering Marky Ramone as Mark Bell from the first carnation of the Heartbreakers with Thunders, Hell etal.

Marc with a C. Voidoids are said to have been the main inspiration for Brit punks adopting the safety-pin and spiky hair look.
