So, lately I'm liking a band called the Clorox Girls. They are very Ramonesy, in a respectable way.

There's kind of a cool Ramones event happening next weekend (Fri. June 29), by the way, at Hollywood Forever Cemetery...

RAMONES DOUBLE WORLD PREMIER
Check out the premiers of both "Too Tough to Die" and "Live at the US Festival 1982" on Friday, June 29th at 6 PM at The Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles. "Too Tough to Die" captures highlights of The Ramones 30th Anniversary Concert from 2004 and included performances from Eddie Vedder, RHCP, X, Rollins and many more. The film also covers the bittersweet tribute ceremony unveiling the Johnny Ramone monument at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, also the resting place of DeeDee Ramone.

"Live at the US Festival 1982" features footage from the classic Southern California rock festival and was mixed from 24 tracks by honorary Ramones producer Ed Stasium.

In addition to the films, Arturo Vega will be presenting an amazing display of Ramones memorabilia and Monte Melnick will be on hand autographing his book "On the Road with The Ramones."

As always, the proceedings will be hosted by Linda Ramone and both Marky Ramone and Henry Rollins will be on hand to introduce the evening.

If you have never been to one of the events at the cemetery, please know you are allowed to bring food and drink. It's a proper nocturnal picnic so bring a blanket, spread the goodies and prepare for a lot of fun.

A $10.00 donation is requested to benefit Prostate Cancer Research.
