Well Damone Ramone had a great post and left a message on my blog which turned my mind back to the Ramones.
During the seventies when music had gone a bit up its own backside, the energy and drive had gone as the sixties idyll died, the Ramones went back to basics. They returned to the idea of a high energy two and a half minute burst of exuberant Rock.
Rock was rebellion. Elvis and John Lennon were rebel punks. Punk was about rebellion.
The Ramones brought back excitement!
They’ll rock my day today!! I need something to liven me up!!
Gabba Gabba Hey!! So Hey Ho Let’s Go!!!
This’ll blow out the cobwebs!!
Opher, thank you for mentioning the last Damone post, most appreciated. All the best to you!
Cheers Damone.
