Johnny Ramone would have turned 75 today. If you never had the pleasure and privilege of seeing The Ramones live, let me assure you they were everything you expected — and more. And Johnny was every inch the scowling, spread-legged, downstrumming misanthrope he was cracked up to be. I don’t know what he would make of the 475-plus new albums, EPs, singles, box sets, compilations, anthologies, retrospectives, soundtracks, vinyl reissues and cassettes arriving next week — but I wish he were still around to weigh in. Hey ho, let’s go:
