Another legend gone before his time…
Damn. He was the last one left, right?
DAMN.
Jesus! Ramones are dropping like flies.
Wow. So, are the Ramones the only rock band where 100% of the original members are dead? I certainly can’t think of another one.
Johnny died last year. Sept. 15, 2004.
Tommy’s the only original Ramone left (kind of like the reverse of Spinal Tap–only the drummers are still living).
Upon further review, that article is from September 16, 2004. See for yourselves:

And I thought Johnny was the last Ramone left, but I was wrong–Tommy is still alive, as well as Marky, who joined later.
Isn’t Gummo still alive?
From the article in the OP:
I’m thinking this is from last year.
Whoops. Entirely correct. My bad. :o Apologies…
Certainly don’t wish to bring any more bad luck to the band than they’ve already had!
Mods, how about giving this thread a decent burial?
Well, just because it’s a while back doesn’t mean many don’t still mourn, but still…
