Johnny Ramone: End of the Century
Jaan Uhelszki, Harp, January 2005
WHEN I SPOKE to Johnny Ramone less than a year ago, I had no idea that it would be one of his final interviews. Stoic, suspicious, and unforgiving to the end he made no mention of the illness that would finally take him, or even indicate that anything was wrong with him at all.
