Two Ramones down

Three, actually. Joey in 2001, Dee Dee in 2002, and now Johnny. Tommy is the only original member alive.

This really hits me hard. The Ramones have always been among my favorite bands, ever since I first heard them back in 8th or 9th grade. One of my all time favorite concerts was when I saw them at a little tiny club in Middletown, NY called "The Class" and they blew out the power TWICE during the show. I was right at the front of the stage, and Joey kept kicking at my hand because I kept bracing it on the stage monitor to keep the people behind me from crushing me up against the stage.
