Well the real mainstream never gave a shit about The Ramones in the first place so I never expected any less after Dee Dee passed. Having him, Joey, and Johnny die within what, in the span of a year or two? It was a gut punch to me for sure. Never saw Is Dee Dee Home. Saw one, I can't remember the name of it, and he was asked why his rap career didn't take off and he goes" Uhhh I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm not a negro" which made me double over in laughter. I did see that GG Allin doc and he was like " "Oh, so it's the murder junkies? I thought it was the GG Allin Band" LOL
Dee Dee might have looked almost like a Cro-Magnon and he wasn't exactly the most eloquent speaker but the fucking guy was a groundbreaking rock genius that needed no formal education. What he wrote about he meant it 100%. God bless that crazy fucker for influencing A LOT of musicians (myself included) that you don't need to be flashy to make music.
