Over at The Hotel
In our ongoing obsession with the Hotel Chelsea, here's the latest from their blog. Recently Bruno Wizard (of The Homosexuals, formerly The Rejects) dropped by his old habitat. The Hotel blog writers interviewed him, and you can read it all here.
Johnny Ramone Dies
Here's the Ramones' official website. Joey died in 2001, Dee Dee died in 2002, and now drummer Tommy is the only surviving original Ramone (Coolfer pointed out to us "second drummer Marky is still alive, as is second bass player CJ"). The Ramones were boys from Queens, and there was an NPR piece about John Langford going to Queens to find Joey's ghost. A street in the East Village is named "Joey Ramone Place" - we'll see if another part is named after Johnny. And there's a Ramones documentary, End Of The Century, out now [read a review from Salon].
