Reply #15: Actually, Dee Dee wrote Bonzo

Joey helped write the middle eight, I think, but Dee Dee wrote in one burst after watching Reagan on TV. He grew up in Germany and knew exactly what that graveyard was.

I interviewed the Ramones several times, and while they busted Johnny's balls about his politics, they really weren't close enough to care. Joey and Johnny didn't speak for years. Even at the end of Joey's life, I think Johnny refused to call him because he thought it would be hypocritical.

They pretty much communicated through Arturo and Mark and later CJ.
