19."SHEENA IS A PUNK ROCKER"-THE RAMONES
THE STORY OF THE RAMONES IS ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE
IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF ROCK.FOUR GUYS FROM QUEENS,NEW
YORK STRIP ROCK DOWN TO IT'S BASIC ELEMENTS,CRANK IT UP LOUD,
AND PLAY AT BREAK-NECK TEMPO'S.THEY ALL WEAR THE SAME
CLOTHES,BLACK LEATHER JACKETS,T-SHIRTS,JEANS AND TENNIS
SHOES AND SHARE THE SAME LAST NAME.
THE BASS PLAYER WRITES ALL THE SONGS WHICH HAVE SIMPLE
TITLES LIKE-"I JUST WANNA HAVE SOMETHING TO DO" AND "I DON'T
WANNA WALK AROUND WITH YOU".
THEY TOUR ENGLAND IN 1976-77 AND JUST LIKE BUDDY HOLLY AND THE
CRICKETS DID THEY INSPIRE HUNDREDS OF BRITISH YOUTH TO EMULATE
THIER SOUND.A FEW OF US IN AMERICA ARE SIMULARLY INSPIRED AND DO
THE SAME.THE REST,AS THEY SAY, IS HISTORY.
