Nothing like watching reruns of Beverly Hills 90210 (RIP Shannon Doherty) and realizing you are now older than Jim and Cindy Walsh.

Jim Walsh, “Do You Remember Rock’n’Roll Radio?” (from Bar Yarns and Manic Depressive Mix Tapes)

[Text ID under cut]

The Ramones played their first Twin Cities concert in 1976 at the old Kelly’s Pub in downtown St. Paul. The Suicide Commandos, the local band that formed around the same time as the New York rockers, opened. The afternoon of the show, a couple of underage kids from Minneapolis, one of whom wore a Ramones T-shirt, drove across the river and parked in front of the bar. The kids had never been to a bar of any kind before, but they were gonna give it a shot. “We love the Ramones,” the kid with the T-shirt told the bouncer at the door. “We just want to see the band. We won’t drink or anything. Will you let us in? Please?” It was 5 p.m. The Ramones wouldn’t be onstage until almost midnight. The bouncer gave the lads the once-over, propped the door open, and barked, “Get out of here.” Which is what the kids did. But they didn’t stop listening to the Ramones. They drank quarts of Mountain Dew and played endless games of foosball while listening to the Ramones’ classic self-titled debut album and their follow-up, Rocket to Russia. A couple of years later, the kid with the Ramones T-shirt wore it under his gown when he graduated from high school. A couple of years after that, the kid found himself hauling gear into Sam’s (later First Avenue) for one of the many Ramones gigs the kid would see over the years. The kid’s big brother’s band, the Neglecters, was opening the show along with the Replacements. When the ‘Mats finished their set, singer/songwriter Paul Westerberg primed the crowd for the Ramones by saying, “The best band in the world is up next. If you don’t think so, fuck ya.” Now the kid is writing a column about the death of Joey Ramone, fifteen minutes after he heard the news, forty-five minutes from deadline. He is thinking about what Paul said. He is thinking about how damn much fun the Ramones were, how insanely fresh they sounded in the mid-70s. He is thinking about what it felt like, pogoing to exhaustion, being lifted off his feet at those shows, about the crush of flesh, the shout-along choruses, and the fact that SPIN magazine got something right when in its latest punk special edition it named Ramones the number-one punk record of all time. He is hoping that Zippy the Pinhead somehow acknowledges Joey’s passing, because the Ramones brought pinhead culture to the masses and humor back to rock’n’roll. He is thinking about all the people who will be crushed when they hear the news—the musicians, record store clerks, and people like his friend Mary B. Goode, the biggest Ramones fan he knows—who once upon a time were all united under a flag that bore the Ramones’ unofficial battle cry, “Gabba Gabba Hey!” He is thinking about the beginning of the Ramones’ shoulda-been-classic “Rock’n’Roll Radio,” which crackles with static, and a radio dial searching for something that crackles, something real, and Joey’s nasally opening line, “Do you remember rock’n’roll radio?” The kid is thinking about how much fun it would be to hear that blasting out of the radio today, but he knows that that is not about to happen anytime soon. More than anything, the kid is thinking about how Joey Ramone always made him feel like a kid, and how he probably always will. Gabba-gabba-hey.
