Joey Ramone dead at 49...
Sorry to start the first day back after the bank holiday with bad news, but...
Joey Ramone (real name Jeff Hyman) died on Sunday, the 15th of April at the age of 49, after a long battle with Lymphoma.
Lead singer for over twenty years with the other most influential band ever (after Pixies) The Ramones, he will be sadly missed.
In the words of Helen Love:
He's seven foot tall
Arms down to the floor
In his ripped up jeans
He's making me scream
Oh Joey
Joey Ramoney
He's got long black hair
He jumps in the air
When he counts up to four
It's like a nuclear war
Oh Joey
Joey Ramoney
