I also bought the Kelly Hogan CD after a) reading a piece about her in the most recent Oxford American and b) hearing a couple tracks on the radio. I'm only part way through it, but am enjoying the whole album. I also purchased a download of Antsy McClain's Heroes Last Forever, which has also been enjoyable- I like what he does. Most importantly, I've broken into the stah of cassettes- The Wagonneers, y'all.

The fact that it took eight years to get this out plus Johnny's lack of erudition (a common Ramones trait, I'll grant you) had me thinking it would be just a all over the place. Instead it's brief but focused. A good addition to a Ramones library (though I'll wait till it shows up a remainder to buy it.)jeffenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05015674620176399988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-26464914801265206502012-08-19T17:44:49.166-05:002012-08-19T17:44:49.166-05:00I choose to believe that he put that list in the b...I choose to believe that he put that list in the book for two reasons:<br /><br />1) To purposefully provoke the left-wingers who make up the target audience of any book about Johnny Ramone.<br />2) His agent told him to include something that would maintain his image of "the Republican Ramone".<br /><br />Neither of these reasons may in fact be true, but it makes it easier to swallow thinking they are.<br /><br />Other than that, what was your impression of the book?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-21697443670334982192012-08-19T16:22:57.767-05:002012-08-19T16:22:57.767-05:00I've been hearing stark-raving, madly-positive...I've been hearing stark-raving, madly-positive reviews of that Kelly Hogan album - must check it out.jeffenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05015674620176399988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-14394608724087032252012-08-19T16:21:03.085-05:002012-08-19T16:21:03.085-05:001) Yay Toy Dolls purchases.

It's true that the Republicanism isn't over the top but that list of 'Favorite Republicans' is a bit odd. I mean "Tom DeLay"? He's a convicted money-launderer.

That super-Republicanism isn't all that prevalent (thankfully), I just didn't find it to be a very satisfying read. And what's up with that thick, heavy cardboard binding...is it supposed to trick the reader into thinking you are getting more book than you paid for?
