A great photo of Hitchens, quite like it. Be popping over in December if there is still a country to visit.

Those teeth! But it keeps drawing my eye to it. Horribly effective avatar. Christmas in the old country, eh.

I saw them at De Montfort Hall? in Leicester,in the early 80s.Unfortunately,they were probably the worst band ive seen.

Thankfully I was spared ever having to see them but definitely one of the worst bands I have heard; derivative, posing, vain, talentless. Other than that not too bad.

The Ramones DID play a song called "Ramona" - might not be the one that you're thinking of though...

Mike, I just read the lyrics to this song. Appalling, degenerate, ***ist and seems to be about bonking a (probably under age) groupie. A nice bunch of lads.

Are you talking about "My Sharona" because that was by The Knack and it was indeed about that.

This is the Ramones song "Ramona":

EDIT: Listening to the lyrics, maybe you did mean that one, feel sorry for women called Ramona.

Just revisited Rocket to Russia and I would like to revise my previous fave Ramones song to "ALL OF THEM" What a band these guys were.

The lyrics to that song are pretty dodgy and misogynistic though to be fair.

Not quite as bad as "My Sharona" but pretty bad.

Agreed on both counts.

Agreed on both counts.

I think we can forgive them though now since they're all dead.
