Lamest songs ever recorded
ajax13:
Johnny Ramone was the business head of the Ramones. They did record Bonzo goes to Bitburg, so they had some understanding of the Vegetable in Chief. Johnny Ramone was just another right wing show biz cat like Bruce Willis or Ronald Reagan or Toby Keith. The MTV generation provided the marching meat for Deset Storm. Advertising your admiration for the GOP was hardly going to piss off everyone.

I doubt anyone really gave a fuck about Johnny's politics, particularly during the first decade of the Ramones' career, outside of a few punk rock 'punker-than-thou' scenesters. I guess if you live long enough, you see a lot of ironies in life, "Lust For Life" being used to sell cruises to square middle class couples, and all that. Most of the kids I see wearing Ramones t-shirts from Hot Topic couldn't name you three Ramones songs. I don't know, the whole idea of looking to entertainers for political guidance seems kinda stupid to me, voting for actors seems even more stupid, I mean, wtf? I think voting for pornograpy publishers who believe in free speech is the way to go, but I know I'm in such a small minority that I usually don't even vote. It didn't work the last few times I tried it, so why bother, right?

Yeah I don't think too many people cared about Alice Cooper's or Ted Nugent's politics either.

Joey had an opinion on Johnny's politics. When Johnny stole Joey's girlfriend, Joey wrote "The KKK Took My Baby Away" about Johnny. His views were pretty extreme, I guess.
