They believed that rock and roll music had lost its way. They despised everything about the hippie counterculture-which had slowly become more of the norm-that was so prevalent in the late 1960s and early 1970s, making them outcasts at school. All four adopted this surname and gave themselves pseudonyms a.k.a. Despite the surname of "Ramone" that they all shared, they were not related. Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee, and Tommy became friends during high school, bonding over their love for the Stooges (think Iggy Pop).

Together, these four misfits from Forest Hills in Queens set out to change the direction of rock and roll. And over time, their musicianship never gained much complexity.

When they first formed the band, in fact, they were still just learning how to play their respective instruments.

None of the four members of the Ramones-Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee, and Tommy Ramone (not their real names, amazingly enough)-weren't the best of musicians, by any stretch of the imagination. Sounds a little counterintuitive, yes, but it's true. You'll notice after they go through their enlightenment studying they lose their cheekbones, wrinkles, and sunken features, etc.The Ramones are proof that it doesn't take great musicianship to create great music. Just look at some famous photos before and after. Perhaps, the subconscious when left to build gives different facial structures like high cheekbones and funny expressions? I believe that the church will eventually let up as society becomes more and more enlightened. The previously skewed and subconscious becomes conscious decision making. It is not about being clever but traditional and following the tried ways of the collective decisions but with the allowed skepticism. Education can change how you appear because it changes your perspective and psychological make-up. There is a considerable amount of enlightenment available today if you know how to lift it out of books with an X-Acto technique, sure. "Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee upon the waters." Sorry, I worked hard on atheism and I intend to keep it. Hey, you'll know you studied when you start attracting bullies who will attempt to fly and leap across the educational gap. Do I look affected?Įducational Evolution The Enlightenment of Ancient Beer These bags are rich with that tradition, sure. Not the Freudian "unconscious" but the new definition of "new unconscious" which is as big as the movements in physics, today. They have just enough information for it to take hold. What is usually inferred by vampirism is a revenge of the subconscious as it struggles to define its areas. When idiots think of tradition they think of an older etiquette and reach for the utensils and manners of some early vague time period. CSL, people think the same from computers and cell-phones but they're really made from traditional values. I guess they wanted that esoteric path of discovery that is so true to religion? What they mean by new is really super-traditional. They mixed a lot of high traditional secrecy in this Buddy Holly-Jazz bag of modern music, dumbed them down a little, then labeled them genres and pitched them as new but they really hold to traditional values.
