I watched The Ramones - Raw over the weekend. I had DVRed it off of VH1 classic about a month ago. It was a pretty standard life on the road snapshot interspersed with live footage. What struck me was how uncomfortable Joey Ramone appeared to be in his own skin. He was probably the most awkward creature I have ever seen on film. Don't get me wrong, I love the Ramones and can appreciate what they did for Punk™ (now with a capital P). I am just making a non-medical, post mortem observation: I think something was genuinely wrong with Joey Ramone. I don't know if he had an extra chromosome, or he had that giants disease or what?!?! I just know something was very odd about him to the point that, throughout the whole show, I felt really bad for him.
I know everybody already has every Ramones song ever made, so here is something that, to my knowledge has never been issued on CD or Itunes; 7" single only baby!
Ask me if I'm a grape.
