i mean it feels weird to get sentimental over such an anti-sentimental guy, but it's still sad to seem him go.

yes, thanks alex

it also mentions one of the weird/interesting things about the ramones, the absolute joylessness they showed before taking the stage, like they were chosen for a battle not of their choosing

Johnny's statue at his gravesite has quotes on the pedestal from Eddie Vedder, Lisa Marie Presley and Vincent Gallo. Talk about choices that last longer than a lifetime.

Saw Butterfly McQueen once when I worked at Actor's Equity for the summer. Cousin of mine was friends with Johnny as I may have mentioned before.
