Tommy is looking more Garcia than punk these days...and the tunes...what I could hear at low volume through #### speakers at work...sounded good...(is that an endorsement?)...

.... 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! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif

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.
