<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andy, post: 18868, member: 645&quot;]Ziggy, when I was in high school a guy I knew from around the way was always talking about the Ramones and was always hanging with Joey and no one took Joey seriously. You&#039;ve seen the guy so you would know why plus he never talk in a crowd so who knew what about the guy. Anyway, to cut to the chase Tom was going around asking if anyone wanted to go with him to the airport to pick up the Ramones. He was talking about a month that they were in England or something shooting a movie. We didn&#039;t think they were that good so no one took it as real. Little did we know that Phil Spector took over and re-created that Ramone sound and the movie was Rock-n-Roll High School. The most interesting thing about it all was after the Ramones made it big, Joey still walked around as if nothing happened and for the most part he had the respect of Brooklyn and Staten Island but he also always had his personel space there. I heard in later years he hung downtown in the lower east side and the village but I never saw him around so maybe the talk meant that hole in the wall club, that had homeless people living outside of it, CBG something or another.&nbsp; I see where you from Texas. Always wanted to experience your great state but the only moment of memory that I have is being sniffed down by a DEA dog after I was stopped in the corridors of the Houston Airport enroute from transferring from an in bound plane from Costa Rica and going to New York 20 years ago. Like your dogs but never had a dream.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
