I Slept With Joey Ramone

After 2,263 gigs, which saw these boys tour for 22 years non-stop, it looks like The Ramones are finally getting a full on biopic made on their highly uncontroversial and normal 'plain Jane' lives.

Now, being a big music fan I'm naturally a big fan of music biopic's - when they're done well. Johnny Cash's Walk the Line was great, Spice World the movie wasn't. I just hope that they recreate the attitude, feeling and drama that made The Ramones such a major influence on the punk rock movement both in the United States and over here in good ol'Blighty. However, if they have Joey in pigtails, Tommy playing hop-scotch and Jonny trying to trade Merlin Premier League stickers with Markey; we'll know that they've opted away from the walking of any line and steered straight into Big Ben in a double decker London bus with a print of the Union Jack on the roof.
