Need to dig this out and read it again, if I've still got it. Dee Dee IS punk rock. I have to qualify that five star. I think I use it to yell at everybody. Apr 03, Ed Wagemann added it. But, I suppose there are other books dedicated to that. More Details I do wish the Lobotomy: Surviving the Ramones had more specific details about albums, tours etc. Just listen to the songs and music and it will tell you everything you need Lobotomy: Surviving the Ramones know. I found it to be interesting and well-written, as well as descriptive and smart. I have lived with a close family member's decades-long addictions, so I Lobotomy: Surviving the Ramones very surprised to find myself feeling sympathy and compassion for Dee Dee Ramone. Dee Dee was the son of a US soldier stationed in Germany and married to a local lady whose name Dee Dee cannot even be bothered to divulge. I read this book back in high school because I needed a non-fiction contribution to my culminating English project and this was the only one within arms reach three days before the due date. I recently revisited this old favorite. And he'd started making music, having left the Ramones behind for good. The story in Lobotomy: Surviving the Ramones about him uncovering a ring behind a brick in a wall is disturbingly fascinating. He died from a drug overdose in To my surprise this book was a requiem for a lost soul and a diary of the life of the man who was the black sheep among a not so very happy family. Lobotomy is worth reading just to hear the voice of one so filled with regret, self-hatred, insights, and finally determination to create a new and better life for himself. Because I do too. He hooked up with neighbours Johnny and Joey and they took advantage of the chaotic atmosphere of the mid 70's to create a band. And be prepared: This is punk rock, drug-driven beat writing, for all intents and purposes. Then I feel normal again. I said to myself, ' I hate Lobotomy: Surviving the Ramones people, I'm not growing, I'm not learning anything. NOOK Book. Aug 14, Andrew F rated it Lobotomy: Surviving the Ramones it.

But as usual, when I learn more about my damaged idols, whether Ian Curtis, Iggy Pop, or Gandhi I am always left trying to justify their repugnant actions.

Highly recommended. This is a weirdly fascinating book. Jul 02, Kimmo Sinivuori rated it really liked it. Jan 23, Dierregi rated it did not like it Shelves: waste-of-timebiographiesrock. I've taken a lot of drugs in this hotel. This was really a very interesting, personal look into a life of not only a rock star in a band I adore, but into to the life of a private broken down man who couldn't seem to escape himself. The presentation feels completely honest, in part because it's so very, very unflattering to everyone involved. However, most of what Dee Dee narrates sounds slightly "off" and very paranoid. In the end, I still don't think that he was the greatest man but I do understand why people love him. Strange, isn't it? No one ever thought this one would survive Helpless child, gonna walk a drum beat behind Lock you in a dream, never let you go Never let you laugh or smile, not you. Then came the usual curse for bands that start to "make it" : Lobotomy: Surviving the Ramones disputes, fuelled by drugs and alcohol. When I picked up this book a few months ago I didn't know what I was going to expect. Not to be insulting, but it's like, if this guy can kick, you should be able to kick! The first Ramones album I ever got was "Acid Eaters". He wasn't "just the bass player" - he wrote many of their classic songs, and was really the glue and glue sniffer that held the group together, between Johnny's chopping downstrummed guitar and J Dee Dee Ramone is not a name high on a list of literate or intellectual rock stars, but you'd Lobotomy: Surviving the Ramones surprised how amazingly entertaining this book is.

He tried to clean up his li Wow, not really sure what to say about this one. It also a beautiful meditation on what is truly screwed up in this world, and how to find solace amongst in the worst in life. I'm looking forward to read the other Dee Dee books now, recommended. I'm very glad to have read this! He tried to clean up his life and it's just so sad knowing that despite his efforts Lobotomy: Surviving the Ramones still claimed his life. Above all, when he wrote about his band being able to write songs as well, I realized that my favorite songs from Ramones aren't even from him. Dee Dee Ramone. Lobotomy: Surviving the Ramones book could actually be called fear, loathing and sadness in Lower Manhattan. He simply can't fathom even this degree of self-maintenance. In his autobiography, he took an honest approach to his life, outlining his upbringing as an army brat in Germany to his storied history of drug abuse, as well as conflicts with fellow band members. I might not fully understand the punk mindset I read this book back in high school because I needed a non-fiction contribution to my culminating Lobotomy: Surviving the Ramones project and this was the only one within arms reach three days before the due date. .

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • Hippie Films, Hippiesploitation, and the Emerging Counterculture, 1955-1970
    HIPPIE FILMS, HIPPIESPLOITATION, AND THE EMERGING COUNTERCULTURE, 1955- 1970 Britton Stiles Rhuart A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2020 Committee: Cynthia Baron, Advisor Dawn Anderson Graduate Faculty Representative Angela Ahlgren Bradford Clark Johnny Walker © 2020 Britton Stiles Rhuart All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Cynthia Baron, Advisor The 1960s was a turbulent time in the United States. The war in Vietnam and the assassinations of leading progressive figures created great cultural anxiety. One response to the divisive war and the rightwing violence was the Hippie movement, which advocated peace, love, and social equality. In American cinema, films touting their cultural relevance or appeal for the lucrative youth market came to include representations of Hippies. Initially, mainstream films failed to capture Hippie style and ideology, but subsequently featured sympathetic portrayals of Hippies. By comparison, exploitation films depicted stylistic elements associated with Hippies even at the outset, but offered sensationalized characterizations of Hippies throughout the 1960s. The study’s primary method is textual analysis of films, reviews, marketing materials, and print documents ranging from mainstream news coverage to counterculture manifestos. To provide a context for analyzing the various trends in cinematic representations of Hippies, the study examines cultural events and filmmaking patterns that led to and sustained the Hippie movement and its representation on screen. Studying depictions of the Hippie movement on-screen sheds new light on how dominant American society viewed the Hippie counterculture. Most on-screen representations of Hippies reflect the views of the country’s dominant culture, because, in contrast to other Hippie art forms, Hippie films were produced, distributed, and exhibited almost exclusively by companies outside the Hippie movement.

    What an Electrifying Past: 19­25 St. Marks Place In 1831, four buildings were built as townhouses for the wealthy at 19­ 25 St. Marks Place. Reflecting the changing demographics of the neighborhood in 1870, the buildings at 19 and 21 St. Marks Place were acquired by the Arion Society. The Arion Society was one of the lead­ ing German singing social organizations in the US from 1854 to 1918 and emerged in the East Village as it developed into Kleindeustch­ land, or Little Germany. When the Arion Society moved uptown in 1887, all three buildings were purchased by George Erhet and combined into community halls and ballrooms as Arlington Hall. Arlington Hall hosted everyone from Theodore Roosevelt, when he was a NYC Police Commissioner, to William Randolph Hearst, the newspaper publisher who built the nation’s largest newspaper chain. One of its most infamous incidents, however, occurred on January 6, 1914 when there was a mob shootout between Jewish mobsters led by Benjamin “Dope Benny” Fein and Italian gangster Jack Sirocco’s crew. This event took place in Arlington Hall and marked the beginning of the predom­ inance of the Italian American gangsters over the Jewish American gangsters. In 1920 the buildings were acquired by the Polish National Home a community meeting hall and restaurant. THE ELECTRIC CIRCUS By the 1960s, the bohemianism and nightlife previ­ ously associated with New York's Greenwich Village was growing in what would later be called the East Village. In 1966 artist Andy Warhol and Paul Morrissey – who directed many of Warhol's films, and who became a sometime manager of the Velvet Underground – sublet the ballroom and turned it into a nightclub.
