Hey Ho Let's Go: The Story of the Ramones

(Omnibus Press). From their 1974 debut at New York's premier punk dive, through the classic albums and blistering live sets, The Ramones cut an unforrgettable swathe through two decades of pop. Seen through the eyes of the people who were there at the time, including musicians, managers, producers, publicists, and New York punk scenesters, it's all here: the break-ups, the bathos, the Budweiser ads, the hot live shows, and the behind-the-scenes looks at the studio albums. This updated edition of Everett True's biography shows the heroic Ramones staying faithful to their own unique musical vision right to the bitter end.
