Ramones Bio, 1975

“The Ramones are not an oldies group, they are not a glitter group, they don’t play boogie music and they don’t play blues.” This is the first sentence of the band’s original one-sheet, and in retrospect it seems genius that then-manager Tome Erdelyi (also known as drummer Tommy Ramone) led not with what they were, but what they were rebelling against. This yellowed page contains no shortage of great snippets — Joey is “an arch villain,” Dee Dee is “the acknowledged handsome one,” kids from their home neighborhood of Forest Hills “either became musicians, degenerates or dentists.”
