Joey Ramones Kid-Bro Writes of Sincere Brotherly LoveBy So The Wind Wont Blow It All AwayA good but not great account of the Ramones and Joey. a great story about the love of two brothers. As for the Ramones. not a lot new here. Like Monte Melnick. Mickey uses a lot of quotes youve read before or seen in youtube interviews. Ive read all the Ramones books now. and have yet to read a great one. but maybe cause it wasnt that great an experience for them. Johnny was a tyrannical jerk. Joey was often sick and suffered with OCD. and Dee Dee was Dee Dee. They drove eachother nuts. which I think was a product of growing up in a time place where kids picked on each other. These guys never stopped. Id heard Dee Dee claim it was a sad life and I believe him.The brother dynamic was really interesting. Joey was dealing with problems he couldnt understand. and that naturally affected his whole family. I think Mickey does a good job explaining how he felt and what he went through as "the kid brother of Joey Ramone". Like most. he doesnt hide his disdain for Johnny "Furor". and most of his Ramones writing is about the early years when he was the roadie. If you love Joey though. and who doesnt. this is worthwhile. This is as good as Melnicks book. Dee Dees are fun too. but more like fiction. Commando was Johnnys "version" and the worst. and Markys book was just okay. Long live the memory of the Ramones!16 of 16 people found the following review helpful. If you love music. you have to read this!By KaytThis book is a wonderful insight into the birth of punk music. and as a fan of both the punk genre and the Ramones specifically. it was a very intimate look inside for me. and I loved it for that. It is well worth the read for the historical value alone.More than that though. it introduced me to a person I never knew - Jeff Hyman. I was a pool of tears at the end of the book. which concludes with Joey Ramones passing. By this point though. I was no longer thinking of him as "Joey Ramone". but as Jeff - a man who suffered from birth to death with one ailment or another. of one type or another. whether it be physical. emotional or mental.After reading the book. I almost felt dirty thinking of him as anything other than Jeff. I still love the Ramones for their music and what they did historically in music. but my heart breaks for the man who was Jeff Hyman. I just wanted to make his hurting stop and make all the pain go away.Mickey. thank you for introducing us to your brother and your family. Ill never look at "Joey" the same way again.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Just buy it. whether you were a fan or not. this is a great read. for anyone!By waneMickey (Joey Ramones brother) did a great book!! Very insightful. entertaining. interesting and just a great read. What a "catchy" title too!! Just like the Ramones songs! It is so sad they never made it big. but maybe that was a good thing. as it kept them putting out song after song. album after album of great music. They all had such an impact on the music world and many. many bands that are huge today owe many thanks to the Ramones as it was their inspiration. Jeffs Joey) untimely death was so sad. as the death of all the original band members is sad. Marky. C.J. and Ritchie are still with us. Marky and C.J. still going strong. but there will never be another Ramones. I was blessed to have "grown up with the Ramones". not in the same neighborhood. but with their music. from their very first album. I had it and it only got better. The concerts were truly a treat. with all the members being a STAR. Dee Dee on Bass. Johnny blasting away on the strings. Tommy (then Marky) beating the drums and Joey. grabbing the mic and pounding his fist in the air. There was nothing like it before and can never be another. it was THE RAMONES!!
