I wish I could say that I saw the Ramones play at CBGB or some other small club back in the day but I discovered the punk scene a little late in the game. Once again, I cannot tell you where or how in Central Park we caught the Ramones this particular evening. By 1980, the New York City legends were gaining popularity and trying to figure out how to further expand their audience while maintaining their hardcore punk fans.

I did have a conversation with Joey Ramone at a Plasmatics concert at Bonds NYC which will be forever etched in my memory but I will save that story for another day.

Too Tough to Die

Rock on!
