The first punk show I ever saw was The Ramones, back when Tommy was still the drummer. I was underage, but the drinking age was lower than it is now, so it was easy to look more mature than one might have really been and to act like he or she belonged in the club. The show changed my life, as their shows did the lives of so many people who saw the original foursome.
Tommy died of cancer yesterday at age 62. As Tony Parsons wrote, "RIP Tommy Ramone. No need for too many tears – that was one wild ride and making it to 62 is pretty good going for a Ramone."
