In Memoriam : Joey Ramone

Ramone, born Jeffrey Hyman in Queens in 1951, became
lead singer only after it became obvious that he lacked the
talent to be a drummer.

But it was a lucky move for both the Ramones and the punkers
who would follow them, like the Sex Pistols and the Clash.
Despite a devoted cult following, the Ramones never managed
to crack the Top 40. (www.wired.com/)
