HEY, HO, LET GO: Apparently - according to Tommy at least - it's what he would have wanted: a slightly alarming looking bronze of Johnny Ramone has been put in Hollywood Forever Cemetery so "fans have a place to come and a way to feel in touch with this music."



Of course, the other way of getting in touch with Johnny's music would be to play a Ramones record, which would probably have a more positive effect on you than dragging off to some showbiz death pit, but that could be just us.

Damn. Is it just me, or is Johnny Ramone actualy Darth Vader?

"So, yeah, I got a new commission to do a Ramones tribute - apparently he was a rock guy. So, I got the pictures of him, and it's all hair - do they know how difficult it is to sculpt hair? I rang them back and said "How about if we give him a hat, would that work?" and they said "No, he didn't wear hats." I suggested it could be a paper hat - everyone wears hats at Christmas, don't they? But no, they wouldn't hear of it. So I gave him a British policeman's helmet, but they still weren't happy..."
