alls i'm saying is that if i was debbie harry, i'd be pissed off that the corner is getting named after joey ramone, just because he happened to die first. i mean, blondie is just as responsible for the fame of CBGB as the ramones are- if not more- and now what do they get? it's probably going to be like "debbie harry alley" around the corner.

Definitely a good point, RIO. But I'm wondering if most Ramones fans are now too old to climb a street post and steal its sign. Hopefully not; in actuality, a bit of my faith will be restored if people keep stealing the sign.

I dunno, most of the people that would want to steal it should at least know why it's there and let's face it... having a 'Joey Ramone Place' sign up on a pole for real is a lot cooler than having stolen one.

Good point, RIO. What's the Vegas over/under on that thing being stolen? I'll be there on the 30th to see it in person...before it's gone.

Is Joey Ramone Place like Archie Bunker's Place?

i was listening to U2 playing "in a little while" from their last album on my ipod yesterday- apparently that was the last song joey listened to before he kicked off the mortal coil.

this is good news, but it's a mistake. it's going to be the most stolen street sign in history.
