So long, Johnny.
Sep. 16th, 2004 08:50 amThe BBC and Yahoo report the death from prostate cancer of Johnny Ramone at 55.
Seeing the film "End of the Century" recently left me with the impression that I probably wouldn't have liked him much if I'd met him, but that there was an awful lot to admire about him past the obvious guitar-playing.
As I've been suggesting to people might happen, this leaves the Ramones as the anti-Tap - only the drummers got out alive.
(Memo to self:
Jobless total down again.
