Hey Surfin' Fans,
So sad to learn 55-year old guitarist JOHNNY RAMONE (born John Cummings) died in his
sleep yesterday after a 5-year battle with prostate cancer.
Will probably devote a segment on my next TWANG SHEBANG "show" on
www.myrealbroadcast.com
OK OK, surf-instro purists, calm down -- THE RAMONES from my not-so-lofty viewpoint
had a powerful surf-rock musical message
After all, they did cover SURFIN' BIRD, SURF CITY, CALIFORNIA SUN, DO YOU WANNA
DANCE?, and their ROCKAWAY BEACH always sounded to me like the Beach Boys at 600 miles
an hour!
Just caught the amazing documentary "END OF THE CENTURY" still playing in the theatres
-- highly recommended
Maybe I can start some dialogue here about THE RAMONES and their contribution to the
surf music "genre" -- one cannot argue how influential they were in what evolved into
"surf punk", no?
1-2-3-4!
HEY HO
