MORRISSEY JOINS THE JRA

Platinum selling Alt rocker Morrissey pays homage to guitar legend, Ramones founder and American icon, Johnny Ramone on his latest single 'Something Is Squeezing My Skull', (the opening track from Morrissey’s new album 'Years of Refusal'). The cover for the new single features Morrissey alongside the 8-ft tall, bronze, Johnny Ramone memorial statue located at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles.

Two different covers (pictured here) will be available in CD single format. The primary image (with Johnny’s guitar in full view) is also the sleeve of the limited edition vinyl 7-inch. Both photos are featured (along with a Morrissey cover story and interview) in the winter ’09 edition of Filter magazine on newsstands through April 2009.
 
Each edition of the single comes backed with a different song performed live for the first time ever by Morrissey and his band at Radio 2's recent “Live With Morrissey” concert. Both CDs and the 7" are available separately but you can pre-order all three and collect the entire set for half the price. Visit Morrissey’s Official Website for more info. Look for the single in stores throughout the UK (and wherever imports are sold) on April 27th.


THE JRA SALUTES LUX INTERIOR

Lux Interior, frontman and founding member of the legendary garage-punk band the Cramps passed away suddenly on February 4th in California.

Lux formed the Cramps in New York in 1976 with his wife, guitarist and ultimate bad girl, Poison Ivy. The band put its own demented spin on punk, blending campy B-movie and exploitation film sensibilities with southern fried rockabilly roots and surf-music spawned from the black leather lagoon.

Lux and Ivy often visited Johnny Ramone and his wife Linda at their home in CA and shared common interests in music and cult film culture.

A memorial service is being planned for Lux that will be deeply private and at an undisclosed location. We must stress that respect for total privacy and undisturbed solitude is of the utmost importance during this extremely difficult time. Instead of flowers, a donation may be made in Lux’s honor to his favorite charity, Best Friends Animal Society.

Our thoughts go out to Ivy and the JRA salutes the inimitable Lux Interior, a true legend and punk pioneer that will never be forgotten.

Lux Interior 10/21/46 – 2/4/09

STOOGES GUITARIST RON ASHETON REMEMBERED

Ron Asheton, original member and guitarist of the influential proto-punk rock band The Stooges, was found dead in his Ann Arbor, Michigan home on January 6th, 2009. The cause of death is still undetermined, but investigators do not suspect foul play. Asheton was 60 years old.

The Stooges were not only influential on the Ramones but also a common interest that initially brought Johnny & Dee Dee Ramone together as friends. Johnny and Dee Dee decided to form a band that reflected the same raw, garage rock sound they admired in The Stooges and soon after, the Ramones were born. With Johnny (on guitar) and Dee Dee (on Bass) they welcomed a drummer who proved uncoordinated on the kit, but showed talent on vocals. He was switched to being the group's singer and became known as Joey Ramone. The band's manager, Tom Erdelyi, took over on drums and became known as Tommy Ramone. The rest is history.

Ron Asheton, along with his brother Scott, Iggy Pop and original bassist Dave Alexander formed the Stooges in Detroit in 1967. The original lineup released two albums, The Stooges and Fun House. Ron Asheton shifted over to bass guitar for 1973’s Raw Power. The band’s comeback album, 2007’s The Weirdness, found Asheton back in his rightful place as the Stooges’ guitarist. Asheton was Number 29 on Rolling Stone’s list of “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time” along with Johnny Ramone himself, listed at #16.

Before Johnny’s death in 2004, he compiled many top ten lists of his own. Ron Asheton ranked #6 on Johnny Ramone’s top ten list of guitarists. The complete list is below.

This year, the Stooges have been nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Hopefully 2009 will find the Stooges in the Hall of Fame beside the Ramones. Inductees will be announced on January 23rd for the ceremony that takes place on April 4th.

Gary Kurfirst and Johnny Ramone
IN MEMORY OF GARY KURFIRST

Music business veteran Gary Kurfirst, a former manager and one-time record label executive to the Ramones passed away on January 13th at age 61. Kurfirst played several pivotal roles in the music industry but may have been best known for managing the Talking Heads and a myriad of other influential bands at various times throughout their careers including Blondie, the B-52's and, more recently, Shirley Manson of Garbage. "Gary was more than a manager, he was a friend." - Linda Ramone

Our condolences go out to the Kurfirst family.

A few words from Shepard about the piece:

“I first got into the Ramones in 1984 and they quickly became one of my favorite groups of all time. I was recently honored to be asked to do the logo for the Johnny Ramone Army. I was very pleased with the logo and asked if I could make a fine art piece of the illustration. This poster was created from the fine art piece. There are two color ways. A black and gold color way is available through Obey Giant, and a black and red version is available through Johnny Ramone’s Official online store. Check them both out.” –Shepard

The Johnny Ramone fine art piece Shepard is referring to immediately sold for an impressive $15,000.00 in his recent solo show “The Duality of Humanity”.

For those with a taste for fine art looking for a more affordable alternative, the limited edition print by Shepard Fairey is available now in a joint venture between Obey Giant and the JRA.

Aside from being an incredible visual artist, Shepard is a longtime Ramones fan:

“I saw the Ramones three times, but the show I saw in the fall of 1988 at the Living Room in Providence R.I. was the most intense. The Living Room should have held 500, but in Providence clubs paid off the cops and there were probably 1,000 people in the venue. Jane's Addiction opened up and raised the energy level. When the Ramones came on the crowd was ready to go nuts. I was near the stage and the crowd surged forward compressing everyone so tightly that I thought my ribs would be crushed. I could actually pick my feet off the ground simultaneously without using my hands. The Ramones played non-stop, no breaks between songs for about two hours. The band was super tight. Johnny leaned into the crowd and didn't even take his leather jacket off for an hour even though it was sweaty as hell in there. Joey's hair was in his eyes but he stayed planted in front of the mic and sounded great. Providence loves the Ramones, so the crowd energy never waned. At certain points I felt like I was going to suffocate or be crushed, but I refused to give up my spot right at the front. It may seem weird to say you are having the time of your life fighting for your life, but that's the only way I can describe that show.”

– Shepard Fairey

2008 JOHNNY RAMONE TRIBUTE
THE MOST SUCCESSFUL ONE YET!
STREAMING LIVE RADIO BROADCAST - AUDIO ARCHIVE NOW ONLINE

A special outdoor event was held in memory of Legendary Ramones Guitarist JOHNNY RAMONE on Friday August 1st, 2008 at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles, home of the 8-ft tall, bronze Johnny Ramone memorial statue.

The tribute, benefiting Johnny’s prostate cancer research charity (Cedars-Sinai, lead by Dr. David Agus), has been an annual event in Los Angeles for nearly half a decade. The 2008 tribute was reportedly the most successful one to date boasting the highest attendance yet, along with an appearance by three of the world famous Ramones attending and signing autographs endlessly for the wealth of devoted Ramones fans flooding the grounds. The site was also adorned with celebrity guests including actress Rose McGowan, Red Hot Chili Peppers Flea & John Frusciante, Stray Cats’ Slim Jim Phantom, Billy Zoom of X and many more intermixed with the extended Ramones family of fans and friends gathered to honor the rock legend.

“Johnny would have been really excited about this. He loved being Johnny Ramone all day long.” Linda Ramone, Johnny’s wife and host of the annual event, said proudly. “He would have loved to see Ramones fans paying tribute to him. He always said Ramones fans are the best fans in the world”.

Ramoniacs of all ages waited patiently on winding lines that were consistently full for at least three (if not more) hours straight leading to the autograph booth where Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, producer, founding member and original drummer Tommy Ramone ("Leave Home", "Rocket to Russia" & more) and Ramones bassist circa 1989-1996 CJ Ramone ("Loco Live", "Adios Amigos" & more) were seated. The duo signed anything and everything at the fan’s requests, posed for pictures and provided up close and personal time to all, making every minute worth the wait it took to get to the front of the line.

“It is very gratifying to see Ramones fans gather together for events like this.” States founding member Tommy Ramone. “It gives us the opportunity to keep the Ramone legacy alive, and to share special times together.”

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and Ramones drummer Marky Ramone ("Road to Ruin", "End of the Century" & more), could also be found signing autographs, posing for photos and holding court with fans near Johnny’s memorial statue.

A full-length Ramones concert was screened outdoors, after dark on a 24-foot mausoleum wall in a double feature with the controversial 1932 cult classic FREAKS. The concert, “Ramones Live at Provinssirock Finland”, was screened in its entirety for the first time since its original broadcast on European TV over twenty years ago.

Special guest, Flea (of the Red Hot Chili Peppers), appeared live and in-person to introduce the vintage performance and shared a personal memory about what went on behind the scenes that rainy night in Finland over two decades ago. Apparently the Chili Peppers (who were also on the bill of the 1988 Festival) decided to strip down naked and run across the stage during the song “Cretin Hop” in the Ramones set (which was televised live). The prank, intended to endear themselves to the Ramones, totally backfired. Johnny was furious and gave the Chili Peppers an earful after the show. Ironically, years later, Johnny & the Chili Peppers would become close friends.

Concluding the night was FREAKS one of Johnny Ramones’ top 10 horror film favorites of all time. FREAKS is highly relevant in Ramones culture having served as the inspiration for the classic song "Pinhead" (on the sophomore album “Leave Home"). The wedding cup scene in the film spawned the lyric "Gabba Gabba we accept you, one of us" (originally "Gooble Gobble" in the film) which mutated into the Ramones tag line "Gabba Gabba Hey”!

CJ Ramone comments: “I really had a great time at the Johnny Ramone Memorial. I love getting to hang out with the fans again and seeing Tommy and Marky Ramone. Everyone seemed to be having a great time. My favorite part was watching "Freaks". I hope to be able to come back next year and do it all again. Big thanks to Linda Ramone and John Cafiero who did a killer job of putting it all together.”

“I’ve never seen a cemetery so full of life.” states JRA commandant (and Osaka Popstar frontman) John Cafiero. “Its a testament to the power of Johnny and the Ramones. Through most of my life I never felt the Ramones got the props they truly deserved and it’s incredibly satisfying to see this come to pass as an adult. Times have finally caught up with them and now they’ll live forever. There’s never a shortage of Ramones fans and the world is full of Johnny Commandos.”

Indie 103 offered a live radio broadcast of the event hosted by Indie 103 morning man (and Vandals’ bassist) Joe Escalente. Escalante (a Ramones disciple himself) did a fantastic job hosting the live broadcast and capturing the spirit of the event on air. He reflects: “In all my years of doing remotes at Indie, the Johnny Ramone tribute was by far the most successful. From the stellar guests that came by the booth for a chat, to the crowd of listeners watching it all go down, to the beautiful surroundings, it ranks as one of the highlights of my radio career. Let's do it again!”

JOHNNY RAMONE FINE ART UNVEILED AT
SHEPARD FAIREY’S DUALITY OF HUMANITY SOLO SHOW


The first of a select few original and fully authorized Johnny Ramone fine art pieces by Obey Giant Artist Shepard Fairey have surfaced in The Duality of Humanity running Sept. 13th - October 4th, 2008 at the White Walls Gallery in San Francisco, CA.

A 30” x 44” Johnny Ramone portrait (based on Shepard’s illustration commissioned by the JRA) has been unveiled. The piece is an incredible monument to the legendary guitar icon and sold immediately, days before the show even opened. The 30” x 44” stencil collage on canvas fetched an impressive $15,000.00. A similar, yet one of a kind, 30” x 44” stencil collage portrait of Johnny on paper is also featured, priced at $6,500.00.

These large mixed media pieces on canvas and paper have been covered with carefully collaged ephemera, self-printed patterns and found clippings from printed media. The backgrounds provide texture and visual subtext, which at times allow apropos words and images to bleed through the iconic images printed and painted over them. The multiple layers create a sense of depth, but also bring in temporal elements through preserved news clippings, historic images and vintage printing effects. It is the images in the foreground, however, that give the work its power.

Over 100 pieces will go on display at White Walls Gallery in this show which marks an evolution for the artist, whose unique form of reverse propaganda emerged from the spirit of the punk movement.

A total of seven Johnny Ramone fine art pieces will be hand produced by Shepard personally, only a few of which will be made available to the general public. Two can be found (among other new works by Shepard Fairey) in The Duality of Humanity.
