R.I.P. Johnny Ramone
Punk rock legend Johnny Ramone has died of prostate cancer. He was 55. Rest in peace.
A tribute concert and cancer research fundraiser was held in Los Angeles on Sunday to mark the band's 30th anniversary. It featured performances from Los Angeles punk band X, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Henry Rollins and others.
Along with his wife, Linda Cummings, friends including Pearl Jam rocker Eddie Vedder, singer Rob Zombie, Lisa Marie Presley, Pete Yorn, Vincent Gallo and Talia Shire were gathered at Ramone's bedside yesterday.
If you get a chance, go see the documentary, End of the Century: The Story of the Ramones. [hat tip, Jake Fogelnest, who is directing the soon-to-be-released political satire show at the Upright Citizens Brigade, George Bush, Son of a MotherF**er.]
