The American Punk scene has certainly taken a large blow due to this horrible event, peticularly the Conservative Punks (yes they exist Johnny Ramone was one himself) I am not going to politicize a great mans passing away, because that is far far below me, and I will not lower myself in order to try and push my political Ideology.

What happend yesterday afternoon in Sunny California, is truely a tragidy, and the great man known as Johnny Ramone will live on in his music, our hearts, and in our prayers. Johnny Ramone has not died, he has just taken another step in this crazy thing that we refer to as life. He now moves on to heaven, where he will sit at the right hand of God, next to Jesus, and reuniting with the other deceased members of the Ramones in order to produce wonderful 4 chord-no-solo-in-your-face punk rock for the Angles.

This post is for all of the punks out there, right-wing, left-wing, center, who cares, we all lost someone today.
