    used to love the ramones- definitely not what i expected from tommy, but based on the clips- nice tunes, not jump out at you incredible, but good. a surprise for sure as the last time i saw him on stage it sure sounded different!

    .... we all get old my friend.

    I used to listen to Grand Funk, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath in thr 70's and now....

    I was playing "Arkansas Traveler" at an Old Time Jam in Richmond, VA last night with everyone there over the age of 40 or 50.

    Even a Ramone gets old! The good news now is that he is playing some of the "good" music now! LOL!

    I think it goes to show that music is a passion for some people. They'll change genres and even insturments, but the fire remains...ok maybe I'm romanticizing it too much, but I think it's true...

    These tunes are awsome. Simple, and to the point, just like the Ramones.
