Some updates on gigs here in Holland: Main news is that the MC5/DTK will play Amsterdam's Paradiso on August 22. The Primitive festival in Rotterdam on July 1,2 and 3 has completed it's line-up and it's seems like tickets are goin' fast, so hurry on up. And while you're headin' for Rotterdam you might wanna extend your stay as the city hosts the free Meteropolis festival on the 4th with bands like the Reigning Sound, Soledad Brothers and the Killers. And speakin' of the Reigning Sound; don't miss out on their tour: 29/6 Amsterdam, 30/6 Heythuysen, 01/7 Groningen, 02/7 Haarlem, 03/7 Nijmegen, 04/7 Rotterdam, 05/7 Utrecht.
Gary (Pig) Gold posted this on e-mole, again a more official tone to it than this CURSE OF THE RAMONES shit that's been flying about...
"Johnny Ramone is not dying, according to his doctor.
The Ramones guitarist, who has been living with prostate cancer for the past several years, was recently admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles with what his physician, Dr. David Agus, told MTV News was a "complication from the cancer. But he got through it, and he's now on a new, experimental therapy. He's fighting courageously, and I think he will be going home in the near term."
Johnny's admission to Cedars-Sinai set off a nationwide — maybe worldwide — media death watch. He was said to be in an intensive-care unit, and very near the end. Characteristically, the 55-year-old guitarist, a stubbornly private man, refused to issue a corrective press statement. His wife, Linda, however, was appalled by the funereal headlines, and authorized Dr. Agus to explain Johnny's condition.
"He's not dying," Linda said on Wednesday afternoon (June 16). "He was okay for years, and he's fine now. He's in the hospital, but he's not in ICU. And I think he may be leaving by tomorrow."

So let's hope Mark will have enough respect to let nature take its course now.
