Utmostly unlucky band. Someone should have told them that early on, but then we would have never heard the like of Blitzkrieg Bop. Or rhymes like "the KKK took my baby away", reputedly written by lefty Joey about righty Johnny for crossing the state line to his girl friend.

From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

I always thought he had a great American pop voice. As a teenager, two bands inspired/incentivized me to form a band: The Ramones and Angel! No joke either, I guess that defines "sitting on a fence", doesn't it?  :mrgreen:

Utmostly unlucky band.

As unlucky as Lynyrd Skynyrd. I've often wondered if their practices spaces had asbestos issues or something.
