Description

Fast and frenetic in their leather jackets and ripped jeans, the Ramones were hugely influential in the birth of American punk. With his signature sunglasses, mop of hair and towering height, Joey Ramone was their quirky, extraordinary lead singer. His brother, Mickey Leigh, here tells their story with honesty, humour and grace. A page-turning read and an essential chapter in music and culture today.

Author Biography:

Mickey Leigh, born Mitch Hyman, has been a major player in the rock n roll world since the late seventies. He was a major contributor to the music of The Ramones and has been in several bands, including The Rattlers, which included the (in)famous Lester Bangs. He currently lives in New York. Legs McNeil is the coauthor of Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk, a book widely hailed as the definitive work on the subject. The founder of the seminal magazine that gave punk its name, he is a former editor at Spin and editor-in-chief of Nerve. McNeil also wrote Marilyn Chambers's comeback film, Still Insatiable. He is also the author of the forthcoming The Other Hollywood: The Uncensored Oral History of the Porn Film Industry. He divides his time between New York and Los Angeles.
