Format: Book
Description: 175 pages : illustrations (some color), portraits ; 23 cm
Johnny Ramone, born John Cummings (1948-2004), was a founding member of the Ramones, one of the most influential bands of all time. Before that, though, he was a kid from Queens, New York, who didn't think twice about throwing TVs off roofs, hurling bricks through windows, decking people's parents, or robbing old ladies. He eventually found his reprieve from a dead-end life thorough rock and roll. The book also features Johnny's assessment of the Ramone's albums; a number of eccentric top-ten lists; pages from his legendary "black books," with concert notes; and scores of personal and professional photographs, many of which have never been published before."--Page 4 of cover.
