I'm happy to have been there today! The City of New York now officially recognizes the corner of Bowery and East 2nd St. in the East Village as JOEY RAMONE PLACE! Today was the unveiling of the street sign that bears Joey's name a block north of CBGB. This is also the same area where the Ramones loft was located when they started their illustrious trek through the hallowed halls of rock! This is great news for Ramones fans and rock fans at large.

Joey is missed! I used to see him somewhat regularly hanging around the 'hood and in clubs here and there. One of the last times I saw him in person was when he made a surprise appearance with Dee Dee and Marky when they had the Ramones 'cover' band, 'The Ramainz'. Yes...Dee Dee, Marky, DeeDee's wife and another guitarist doing all Ramones songs. Joey came up onstage to join them. A great night and a great memory of Joey AND Dee Dee.

God bless Joey. God bless Dee Dee. God bless THE RAMONES!!
