Yeah, yesterday was a strange sort of day in the end. My buddy Duane from Brooklyn reminded me that Tommy is still alive so they’re actually not all gone. He didn’t go through the mill like the others it would seem but he was the one that took the blueprint and made it what it was, is and will continue to be for all time. They might not have sold a zillion records in their lifetime but they changed things forever.
I was on Radio Scotland’s Arts Show talking about it all briefly last night and anybody who is interested can reach that HERE. Look under ARTS SHOW and use the LISTEN AGAIN facility for Thursday, fast forward to the final 10 minutes and I’ll be in thereabouts... It’ll be up there for a week.
Also, my e-mail shenanigans continue. Don’t know if they’ll be resolved in the near future or not.

Just got this spam through the Email, I dont do broadband or AOL myself so I'll never follow it up, but it appears that there is an online Radio station that purely plays the Ramones - I guess we're living in the future already and I dont know how I feel about it
I'm not sure if I find the timing sick or creepy or just plain .... odd ?
Cheers,

Hey there,
To mark the passing Johnny Ramone, I wanted to be sure you were aware that the AOL Radio@ Network is currently offering a 24/7 stream of the recently launched All Ramones station. The station, available at AOL Keyword: Radio and Radio@Netscape features Ramones classics, rarities, B-sides and tributes, as well a biographical information and contextual links to purchase Ramones music.
It is through a unique licensing arrangement that the AOL Radio@ Network is able to offer dedicated stations to legendary performers. The stations are exclusive to AOL, and we believe our use of All Artist licensing is unprecedented.
While the launch of the All Ramones station is timely, it is not the first All Artist station that the AOL Radio@ Network has featured, and it won't be the last. The AOL Radio@ Network has featured All Artist stations including The Rolling Stones, The Doors, Elvis Presley, John Coltrane, Ray Charles, Johnny Cash and each many of the 2004 Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame Inductees, among others. In the coming weeks, the network plans to launch stations dedicated to The Clash, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello and more.
With more than 6 million unique visitor per month (comScore Media Metrix, August 2004), the AOL Radio@ Network is a leading Internet Radio Network. The network, which includes Radio@AOL, Radio@AOL for Broadband and Radio@Netscape, has over 175 best-of-breed music, news, sports, entertainment and seasonal stations, as well as contextual information and integrated commerce.
Please contact me at (212) 652-6394 if you would like more information on the All Ramones station or the AOL Radio@ Network.
Best,
Deana
