Episode 61 - Casey Yarbrough: Ramones Mania!

Tom Cheshire provided the testimonial for one of our favorite bands and albums, I believe the first greatest hits compilation of our show, Ramones Mania! "Sometimes it's fun to break the rules, or just reinvent them. Although this isn't an album, RAMONES MANIA is a greatest hits record, it's the first Ramones record I bought. Later I bought every individual album. They were that important to me. Coming from their neighborhood, Forest Hills, Queens, New York, made me love them even more. Hometown Heroes gone good. My Brother Scott once referred to The Ramones as our Beatles. I knew Casey and B Kinch would be the perfect people to talk to about this record. We all discovered this band and this particular record about the same time, through skateboarding and BMX bikes, and our weird friends, and in the case of B Kinch, his babysitter. The Ramones are comic book characters that have come to life, that sing about weird beautiful things and about being outsiders, and we all connected with it. This is my favorite greatest hits record. I hope you enjoy this episode. Also BLAST this whole record from start to finish. You can thank me later."  <br/><br/>- Tom Cheshire <br/><br/>
