Another one bites the dust

It seems like 50 is to punk rockers what 80 is to the general population. Johnny Ramone just kicked it at 55. While it's true he was that most moronic of oxymorons, the conservative punk, he still managed to be part of one of the most important bands in rock history. So he won't get a pass on his politics here, but you also won't find me writing things like, "well, that's one less bonehead stumping for Bush." I promise.
