The Story of The Ramones

What a lay-off. I think this is the longest I’ve gone without posting. But The Ramones got me going again. I finally saw The Story of The Ramones the other day. To my surprise, by the time it was over I had more respect for the band and the music. I wasn’t aware of Joey’s legitimate OCD issues. Knowing that makes a lot of the lyrics that I once thought goofy seem rather poignant now.

I’ve seen The Ramones no less than ten times. Too bad the year in the dates on both of these tickets got torn off. But as some rock star in the movie said, I can’t recall who, you would walk into their shows and you would have to ask yourself what year it was. Year after year everything was essentially the same. But we kept going because that meant a good show was guaranteed.

I’ll post some records next.

    Probably at least once together. Both of those tix are from Boathouse shows. According to my researching-puzzle-solving mother: “Friday 4/5 and Saturday 8/24 occurred in 1985, 1991, and 1996.” I’m guessing ’85 and maybe ’91 are the most likely years.
