[kj] OT : One for Smiffy

[Alex Smith]

I think what upsets me the most about it is that original drummer Tommy Ramone is involved. Second drummer,  Marky Ramone, has been whoring himself around and sullying the band's otherwise good name for years, but I'd have expected a little more from Tommy. 

I can't imagine Johnny would've allowed this to happen (were he not, y'know, dead), but who knows?


It just strikes me that a Broadway musical is pretty much the *EXACT OPPOSITE* of what Punk Rock was supposedly all about in the first place, no? Discuss, if you care....
