TOO TOUGH TO LOVE is Cynthia "Roxy" Whitneys first-person account of her 20-year affair with punk guitar legend and Ramones co-founder Johnny Ramone - a story that has never been told until now. While most fans have heard of the notorious love triangle of Johnny; singer Joey Ramone; and Joeys girlfriend Linda Daniele (later Mrs. Johnny Ramone); very few know that the "triangle" had a fourth side - Roxy. In her inimitable voice; she gives a no-holds-barred account of her life as a teenaged stripper in 1970s New York; the early days of punk and the Ramones; and the betrayal that nearly shattered the band. Roxy was written out of the Ramones official history; but her relationship with Johnny continued in secret for many years; - even after his marriage to Linda. As told to spoken-word poet Emily XYZ; Roxys story is full of vivid; funny; hair-raising and poignant details; and paints a far more complex and human portrait of Johnny than any other Ramones history or memoir so far.
