happy belated berfday to joey ramone (r.i.p.). here's a vid of him 'n' his "bruddas" playing "judy is a punk" in 1974, before they got the matching leathers.
and here they are playing "blitzkrieg bop" at cbgb's in 1977. before the dictators covered this on joey's b-day (5.19) in dallas in 2001 -- about a month after his death -- handsome dick looked skyward and exclaimed, "dallas loves you, joey!" and there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
ok, here's one more: "pinhead," with marc bell (ex-dust, voidoids) replacing tommy erdelyi on drums. i saw 'em at the palladium in dallas around this time (ca. '79); nervebreakers opened. proof positive (as if any more were needed) that less _is_ more.

Thanks,
I remember writing an e-letter to his brother after his passing. The Ramones had a fairly large influence on me, as though that's not stating the obvious.

i see kid daniel as kind of a cross between joey 'n' dee dee.
