Hey Ho Let's Go: The Story of the Ramones, Paperback/Everett True

Once seen as a punk joke, The Ramones eventually came to be taken seriously, influencing almost every garage rocker that succeeded them. The story of the band from Queens is the paradigm rock saga - a litany of drugs, fallings-out, financial catastrophes, inter-band rivalries, bad management and death. This is a warts-and-all rock biography.
