| Some Ramones news:
The Ramones are to get a lifetime achievement award at the Grammys next year.
This will happen on February 12 in Los Angeles, the day before the Grammy Awards themselves. They’ll be joined by Julie Andrews and Dolly Parton in receiving this honour in 2011.
The only surviving member of the original line-up is drummer/producer Tommy Ramone. And the band will make history as the first artists to get such an accolade without ever winning a traditional Grammy.

I wouldn't know cuz I haven't watched a Grammy telecast since the infamous Metallica/Jethro Tull debacle. I didn't even know last night was Grammy night till I logged into Yahoo in the early evening and saw a big photo on their home page of Lady Gaga being carried into the ceremony inside a giant egg. I was like, "Uhh, OK, that's about all I need to see." But if I had to take a wild guess I'd say that they probably didn't air the Ramones portion. Apparently Iron Maiden won the Metal Grammy last night and I'd bet that they weren't on the show either. _________________ "If you're a false, don't entry, because you'll be burned and died!"

| No idea. I watched the show for maybe a half hour with my wife. I didn't see a single thing that appealed to me in the least bit so I went to the bedroom and read my latest issue of Classic Rock mag and fell asleep with visions of Lemmy's mole chasing me down a long hallway. - Quote :

An idea which she stole from Mork from Ork 30 years ago. Pfft. _________________ I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too.

| Wish I could make it to this...Marky Ramone now has his own private label pasta sauce (!) and he'll be doing a meet & greet/tasting/signing to promote it here in Jersey on Wednesday... When you think punk rock icon, the first image that comes to mind probably isn't him standing at a stove stirring some sauce. But Marky Ramone says, these days, "chefs are like rock stars." So why shouldn't a rock star take his turn as a chef? Marky Ramone will be at Chef Central for a tasting and Q&A session on Wednesday. Last year, Ramone started selling his creation, Marky Ramone's Pasta Sauce. Meanwhile, his music career continues and the accolades for the legendary punk rock band, The Ramones, go on as well. The drummer picked up the band's Grammy Award for Lifetime Achievement in February. Ramone took some time out of his crazy schedule to talk to us. Q. Where's your Grammy? It's next to my Rock and Roll Hall of Fame statue and my MTV Lifetime Achievement Award and they look good together. I keep the statues in a different room where it's not so in-your-face. I'm not really into that. Q. How does a punk icon and Rock and Roll Hall-of-Famer end up cooking pasta sauce? My grandfather was a chef at the Copacabana and 21 Club in New York City. I always used to go to his house with my father and mother and watch him cook. It's creative. Q. When did you start making sauce? When I left my parents at the age of 18 when I had to live on my own, the cheapest thing to make was spaghetti. I just got my can of tomatoes, put it in the pot, mixed it up with some olive oil, threw in some garlic, some onions, oregano, a little bit of sugar and that's what I did. I had a big pot of it and I'd keep it in the refrigerator. It would always be there. It was something that, at the time, kept me going. Q. How close is this to that original recipe? It is close. There are a few little things that are different. I'm not going to say I'm a full-fledged chef, I'm just saying there are things in the sauce that are kind of like a surprise. And everything is good for you. It's gluten free and it's all natural and that's important. Q. You've got so much going on, why do this too? Why not? It's good to do a lot of things. You can drum, you can DJ, you can have a show on Sirius XM, you can tour, you can do the sauce. I don't feel a person has to be restricted to just one thing. Q. Now, when you want some sauce, do you open a can of tomatoes and make sauce or open the jar? I open my jar. Are you kidding? I open my jar and I look at it and I go, 'Wow, Marky in a jar.' _________________ "If you're a false, don't entry, because you'll be burned and died!"

| All i Have by the Ramones is "The Ramones Anthology", and while i liked some of it, it just didnt hold my attention well, like Heavy metal does. Also gotta mention that the Anthology is 2 disc and has a Hardback book. My uncle gave it to me as a gift, pretty cool present. | |

| Johnny Ramone's the next member of the band to get a biography... apparently this has been in the works since before he passed away.
Johnny Ramone's autobiography to be released NEW YORK, Wed Jan 18, 08:19 AM Eight years after he died of prostate cancer, Johnny Ramone's autobiography is finally being published. "Commando: The Autobiography of Johnny Ramone" is set for release April 2 by Abrams Image. In an interview Tuesday, his widow, Linda, described the book as "kind of his last word that he knew would be out." "It is a really powerful book because his whole life has gone before him and he knows it's going to come to an end, and he really needs to tell everybody what he's feeling inside, so that's what makes it so amazing," she added later. "That is the biggest, most powerful thing, writing a book when you know you're dying." Johnny Ramone, whose real name was John Cummings, was one of the founding members of the legendary New York City-based punk band the Ramones, members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Considered one of the most influential guitarists in rock, he died in 2004 at age 55 after battling cancer for five years. Linda Ramone said he started writing the book when he first became ill: "Johnny's legacy to him was so important, even while he was sick. ... It was like he knew he was dying, and he wanted to do something." The 176-page book is filled with pictures selected by his wife. It includes Ramone's musings from his childhood to his struggle with cancer. It also features other personal stories, including the attack on him that left him hospitalized, his altercation with Malcolm McLaren and his romance with Linda, who once dated Joey Ramone, the Ramones' frontman, leading to a yearslong rift between the two musicians.
"It's whatever people make out of it. I guess it was some sort of love triangle - Joey, Johnny and me. It happened, and of course he talks about it and he talks about how he feels about it," Linda said. "The three of us all probably have a different story, but this is Johnny's story." Band mate Tommy Ramone, the only surviving member of the original band, wrote the foreword. In a statement, he said: "Johnny Ramone's autobiography is a no holds barred, straight-forward book written in a no-nonsense style that is Johnny personified. His story is written in his own actual words, so the reader gets an insight into what made him the unique, charismatic and exciting individual that he was. It also gives a great view of The Ramones from Johnny's perspective." The epilogue was written by close friend Lisa Marie Presley. Linda Ramone said the book was originally planned to have interviews with Ramone's friends, but she decided to only include her husband's words. "It didn't make Johnny Ramone's book more powerful by having other people in the book talking about him," she said. "This is nobody else's story. This is Johnny Ramone's story, talking about Johnny Ramone." She said several factors were responsible for the delay in the book's release, including lawsuits involving the band after Ramone died and other projects she was undertaking for his fans. "Between all those years of doing different things for his legacy, I always had the book. But there was never the right time for the book," she said. Linda said her husband never stopped working on the book, even during chemotherapy treatments. "He wasn't feeling well all the time, but that never stopped Johnny," she said. "Johnny was indestructible." She hopes to publish another book of photos of Ramone, and hopes the book will lead to a Ramones biopic. "This is the first book I can honestly see that really has enough in it to make it such an interesting story, because this is Johnny talking about Johnny," she said. "No Ramone movie could be as cool as Johnny's story." _________________ "If you're a false, don't entry, because you'll be burned and died!"

| Kinda odd that the book seems so short (176 pages? That's it?) ... I mean, I know Johnny was a man of few words, but geez. _________________ "If you're a false, don't entry, because you'll be burned and died!"

| For Fat Freddy:
After Joey Ramone's death from lymphoma in April 2001, his mother, Charlotte Lesher, and younger brother, Mickey Leigh, were cleaning the Ramones singer's New York apartment when Charlotte picked up an old pizza-delivery receipt. "She was about to throw it away," Leigh recalls. "I turned it over, and there were song lyrics on the back." Right to the end, Leigh says, "Joey was working on something in his head."
On May 15th, a decade after his posthumous solo debut, 2002's Don't Worry About Me, Joey will finally deliver a follow-up – called Ya Know? after the way Joey used to end every sentence in his Queens drawl. The new album features 17 songs recorded by Joey as demos for and after the Ramones, who broke up in 1996. The tracks – which include the anthem "Rock & Roll Is the Answer," the hometown hymn "New York City" and a striking country-flavored ballad, "Waiting for That Railroad" – were completed by producers such as Ed Stasium and Jean Beauvoir, who both worked with the Ramones. Joan Jett, the E Street Band's Steven Van Zandt, drummer Richie Ramone, and members of Cheap Trick and the Dictators are among the friends and fans who contributed new overdubs.
Protracted negotiations over some demos, originally done by Joey with producer Daniel Rey, delayed work on the album until 2009. Stasium says one plan was to recruit stars from "very popular bands influenced by Joey." Instead, "We got friends who were really friends of Joey." Stasium recorded those overdubs in New York in 2010, the week after a Joey Ramone Birthday Bash show.
The vintage of the material is "all over the place," says Leigh, who has led his own band, the Rattlers, and plays on Ya Know? He taped Joey's slow-dance version of the Ramones holiday hit "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)" in the mid-Eighties on a four-track cassette deck in the singer's apartment. The Dictators' Andy Shernoff was watching TV with Joey there in the early Nineties when they started co-writing the delicate "Trembling." "He was getting matured, more soulful, in his voice," Shernoff says. "He would have gone more in that direction. He enjoyed singing like that."
"His health was up and down," Leigh says of Joey's final years. "But when the chemo cocktail was effective, that's when he did his work. Joey had no intention of retiring. His health was holding him back. But he was finally feeling free.

| I don't know what it is about the Ramones, but whenever I listen to them now, it makes me sad that Joey, (along with Johnny & Dee Dee, of course) is no longer with us. I listen to plenty of other dead artists and not even give it a second thought, but hearing the Ramones and Joey pouring his heart out especially on their latter day material really brings me down. _________________ I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too.
