Johnny Ramone Hospitalized?
Last week Coolfer got a rumor from a friend, who picked it up from a
supposedly solid source. But not until Hits' Rumour Mill reported the same
rumor did I think much of it. The word on the street is that Johnny Ramone
is currently in a hospital in or around Los Angeles. Intensive care no less.
I was told it's bad. Real bad. Hits asked the question, "Is one major rock
publication already preparing an obituary?" Let's hope that's not the case.
He turns 53 in October.
Johnny, who was the only guitarist the Ramones ever had (could there ever
have been another?), has already had one brush with death. In 1983, he got
in a fight with Seth Macklin of the band Sub Zero Construction. Johnny was
badly hurt and required brain surgery. He recovered and the Ramones recorded
yet another album. Its name? Too Tough To Die.
