Rock Off

Johnny Ramone died yesterday. Another legend bites the big one. All the influences of my misspent youth are dying off. All part of growing older, I suppose.

I find this part interesting, but not surprising.

In addition to his financial conservatism, the guitarist was politically conservative — the late Ronald Reagan was Ramone's favorite president, Vega said.

Which, of course, is going to make me giggle the next time I see a member of the current crop of disaffected yutes wearing a Ramones shirt. In the meantime, you should all go listen to Rocket to Russia.
