Johnny Ramone

The rockers of the 70s are dying off too quick. Johnny Ramone of The Ramones is now the third member of The Ramones to die, leaving only one original member. He was only 55. Somehow the rock pioneers of the 60s like some members of The Beatles and the Rolling Stones are living longer than many of the innovative rockers of the 70s such as The Ramones, Frank Zappa and Robert Palmer. It's sad to see artists that I think are still young die, and it also makes me feel old because the 70s was a long time ago. I guess these entertainers lived hard and paid the price. I might live until I'm 90 but I will never experience the adventurous life led by madmen like Keith Moon of The Who.
