I am reminded that we lost Joey Ramone on this day in 2001. I was lucky enough to get to see the Ramones several times over the years, but -- as a New Yorker -- ya did sort of take them for granted after a while. I repeatedly remember my friend Rob B and I saying to each other, "Hey, should we go check out the Ramones again next week?" And sometimes we didn't, as we knew they'd be back again about a month after that.
Until, of course, they weren't.
Here are some shots I took in May of 1998 at Coney Island High of Joey (with the great Jerry Only of the Misfits) for one of his birthday bashes.
Pour one out.
Meanwhile, this can NEVER be loud enough...
