7.GREETINGS WISHES for JOEY
Joey, My thoughts and prayers are with you daily for a
speedy recovery. Your music has gotten me through some remarkably
difficult times, lifted me from some forms of hell, including dealing with
family members in situations similar to yours. If in some small manner in
this world the positive thoughts and hopes of a fan are able to provide
comfort, I hope they do so for you. I owe you that, and I only wish I
could more. God bless, thank you, and get better!
Mark Will aka Otto Ramone

I know you will pull through. My name is Pedro and I´m
Portuguese . I´ve been listening to The Ramones since I was 16 (14 years
ago). Unfortunately I never saw you guys live. I hope that when you get
out of hospital, the Ramones will reunite and play a gig over here in
Portugal(you´ve already played here, but that was long before I started
listening to to the Ramones). Please...
Pedro Negreiros, Portugal

Hi, Joey. My name is João Paulo Nunes, I'm 21 years old and I'm from

and you will see that better things are on the way. Comeback singing soon,
my friend, brother, and father. See ya.

14.Get Well Joey!
All us crazy pinheaded cretins are hoping the best for
you. I know your situation, if what I've read is true, is indeed a very
tough one- but we all know you'll get through this! You're a Ramone;
you're tough and don't take no shit from anyone or anything. I've had two
family members battle similar circumstances and they were able to overcome
the seemingly impossible- so it's not impossible to overcome your
situation.
And remember you have legions of fans world wide thinking about you! Gabba
Gabba!

lot for me anyway. Get well soon and good luck with anything else you do.
Brandon Judd, USA, 16 years old
17.GREETINGS FOR THE JOEY
Joey, I don't know where to start or what to write about.
I can only tell you I have a dream, man. My ultimate goal in life is to
redefine the term 'rock star'. All of my life I have struggled to get
where I am today, but I will not stop or give up at any cost, not even
when I reach my full potential, if there's such a thing, that is. You've
got to keep on giving. There is so much a person can achieve beyond any
ascribed limits. For as long as I remember, music has been my mistress.
I'm obsessed with music to the point that I've done some pretty crazy
stuff to get my way (and as many guitars as possible) being the 18-year
old broke ass that I am. With that aside, I listen to punk,pop, rock,
metal, jazz, blues, world music, ska, and pretty much every existing genre
except that shit they play on TV and radio nowadays. Yet, I always come
back to my Ramones CD's. It's funny because I got into your music after
you guys broke up, and I have never even experienced a Ramones concert.
Most of the people in my generation don't even listen to old school, or
true punk for that matter. Our youth is going to waste. The bottom line is
the Ramones are the only band I can truly refer to as my favorite band,
and that's the truth. Hopefully, one day I'll become a rock star without a
bullshit ego, and be able to make beautiful music to share with my fans.
Maybe it's because I'm young, but I'm foolish enough to think that I can
change the world with my music. That's probably impossible, still I yearn
for what the future may bring,
in hopes of rock and roll living again and rising above all of that crap
that has become the norm in society. I thank you Joey, for the Ramones are
the biggest influence in my life, and I only wish you the best for the
future. Do get better, please! Take care, bro and thanks for your time!

27.Hey Pinhead Get Better will y'a?!?!?!?!
So you can do that cretin hop again and again; No Im not a
loudmouth, and it's not like I dont care, I just wanna be well, cause I
cant give you anything.Now you can sing I wanna be sedated over and over
again, just that might give you a bad brain, and remember its a long way
back after that. Danny says you ll be ok, so lets go -all the way cause
you sound like you're sick, and if you need anything from 7-11 let me
know. Somebody like me, might disagree, but time has come today not to be
a mama's boy. I know you re too tough to die, with all these friends and
fans around you, youll always have something to believe in. Hope you're
having a really cool time in that garden of serenety that they call
hospital .Its not for me to know but I hope they'll take the pain away and
you ll be the good ol rnr crusher. Gabba gabba hey!

Joey, please get well! There are quite a few songs and
record titles, that spring to my mind, when I think of your momentary
situation, like "I wanna be well" or "I wanna live", but at most of course
"Too Tough To Die"!!! Hold true to this, Joey! Best wishes!

I just want to say that my family and I are praying for
Joey's quick recovery. It is not as scary as the papers are making it
seem. The lymphoma department at Sloan-Kettering is full of brilliant
caring people who have an outstanding rate of success. I myself have had
some experience with this hospital and fully credit the lymphoma
department with sabving my wife's life. They have saved many many lives
and have cured people entirely of certain
types of lymphoma. N.B. Information on this, the second fastest growing
cancer, is available on the Cure For Lymphoma website. www.cfl.org. I
donate on a semi-annual basis and my latest $250 donation was in the name
of Joey Ramone. Keep strong, Joey!
Stu, USA
32. Get well wishes for Joey
Dear Joey, I wish you all the best for your recovery and
I hope you'll be back soon. Rock'n Roll really needs people like you!!!
You're one of the greatest singers in this world, one of the most
impressive personalities of Rock - and, by the way, the only rockstar I
ever had a crush on ;-) Unfortunately, I saw you only twice with the
Ramones, so when you've finished your solo-album and your state of health
allows it, PLEASE go on tour in Germany!
You and the guys really changed my life, made me feel understood when life
got hard-know what I mean?...Thank you so much for that!!!!!!! I'm sure
you'll make it!!! All Ramones-fans in the world certainly pray for you!

35. GREETINGS FOR THE JOEY
It was a long time ago when I started listening to your
voice. I have also been there every time you've been to Barcelona. I have
even made my family believe in the Ramones. and in you! I know you're
tough, and brave, and that you'll go through this, only to become even
tougher. We are looking forward to listening to your solo album, and to
seeing you are well again.there are still plenty of things to do!!! Good
luck, and get well soon!

I was flipping through a subway news rag en route to my
corporate job in downtown Toronto when I saw the story about Joey in being
in the hospital for cancer treatment. My eyes filled with tears as I left
the train
and surfaced to the street. I couldn't believe the man that filled my
teenage years with purpose to be different was truly in trouble like I had
heard about years before.
In 1994, I had hooked up for a few beers with a long time friend and
Ramones fanatic, like myself, who had heard the news that the band was
calling it quits.
We had grown up in a small town. At 12 years of age, just as VCR's were
catching on, we had rented Rock-n-Roll High School. Thanks to our older
siblings' adventures into punk rock, we already knew a handful of songs.
From that rental on our lives changed. It was a full voyage into the bad
boys and misfits of underground rock.
We saw Joey Ramone and his band mates as the embodiment of teen rebellion.
Respectable rebellion, mind you. It wasn't cool to listen to that music or
subscribe to that musical juggernaut. But we did so anyway despite paying
a hefty price in our pursuit to "belong" or "fit in". Who were we kidding,
we weren't going to be captains of the football team, Christ, we never
even went to our prom. With the pinhead culture that surrounded us, we
didn't want to.
Joey, your music and your vision of rock and roll touched more people than
you will ever knew. It taught me to be wild, be free, to reach for the
stars despite not conforming to the mainstream. To dwell on the battle
you're involved in right now is soul crushing. I wish I could give you
something to strengthen you for all the times I had a Ramones song and
imbedded Ramones mentality to strengthen me.
I can't count the amount of times your music blasted from a beat up ghetto
blaster on the beaches of Lake Erie on warm summer nights near a beach
fire. Or the number or times we waddled down a back street from a party,
intoxicated to the teats, singing ROCK AND ROLL RADIO, BEAT ON THE BRAT,
and the perennial youth anthem ROCK AND ROLL HIGH SCHOOL. We had so much
fun thanks to your music. Fun in a town when there was otherwise no fun to
be had. Your art inspired me greatly to break out of that sh*t-hole town
and do something with my life.
I was happy to see an Internet photo of you at a birthday event a
few years ago. I'm relieved there have been some brighter moments
throughout your condition.
I'll have you in my prayers tonight Joey. And as many nights as I can
remember to do so. Hang in there for me. For rock fans everywhere.
Steven B, 30, Toronto, Canada
37. Best Wishes Joey!
Joey, I know you can make it. You and the other boys kept
me going in the 80's when everything was shit. Please, please get well.
Really, I never sent anyone a message like this. We love you Joey.
Sheena White, (USA)
38. Greetings for Joey
Sweet sweet, little Joey,
Sorry for the bad English, but I got a lot to say: You're a very precious
life. You're much more precious than gold, diamond, silver... anything.
Your life is very precious and a disease can't take it away. Comparing to
the power of God's love, that disease is weak! That disease can't touch
you! You're stronger, for the name of Jesus! Joey, resist! We love you! We
miss you! We need you. Joey, once I said this and I'll repeat: I love you
like a member of my family. Can't explain my love love for you. I wish you
would read this, Joey. I love you and want you to know. Joey, I believe in
miracles! For the name of Jesus, you're already CURED! And just wanna say
that I love you so so so so so so so much!!! It isn't easy to explain this
love. But don't give up, Joey! We're with you! There's a time when you
feel like you can try anymore, but don't feel like this! We'll win
together, Joey! Remember us, honey! Remember that I love you and I'm
always praying for you! Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart and I'll
love you. I've sent letters for you. Hope they reach your hands. Joey,
believe in love, believe in God! Trust! You're cured! I believe! Kisses
from a brazilian girl who loves you so much Hey Ho, Let's Go, Joey! You're
precious!
Sheena, 15 years old, Curitiba,Brazil
39.BEST WISHES FOR A SUPER-SONIC RECOVERY, JOEY!
I WAS VERY DEPRESSED WHEN I HEARD THAT YOU'RE FUTURE HAD
BEEN JEOPARDIZED BY THE SHACKLES OF MORTALITY, BUT I KNOW THAT YOU STILL
HAVE PLENTY OF ENERGY TO PULL YOURSELF OUT. IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU AND THE
CLASH AND JELLO BIAFRA I WOULD BE IN THE HOSPITAL RIGHT NOW, OR THE
MORGUE-BUT JUST BECAUSE I'M NOT DEAD DON'T THINK THAT MY ATTITUDE DOESN'T
STINK! PUNK ROCK IS EMBEDDED IN MY SOUL AS I KNOW IT IS IN YOURS. THAT'S
THE ULTIMATE CONSULATION.
YOUR VOICE IS SO PHENOMENONAL AS IS YOUR APPEARANCE! I'M A SONGWRITER/POET
MYSELF AND I LOVE THE MINIMALIST STYLE THAT YOU'VE PERFECTED AND THE STAGE
PRESCENCE YOU'VE DEVELOPED OVER THE YEARS. I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO START MY
OWN PUNK BAND BUT IT'S BEEN DIFFICULT WHAT WITH THE UPSURGE OF THE HIP-HOP
MOVEMENT. I'M ALSO VERY ANTI-SOCIAL AND MY "VALUES" ARE MORE BASED IN
ORIGINAL PUNK RATHER THAN THE MONOTONOUS STUPIDITY OF PEOPLE IN GENERAL
TODAY. DON'T EVER LET GO, THIS WORLD NEEDS MORE PEOPLE LIKE YOU!
CREATIVITY HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY PASSION, AND YOU AND THE YOUNGER GLENN
DANZIG ARE ON MY TOP TEN IN CREATIVE, AWESOME PEOPLE. I JUST WANT YOU TO
"BE WELL." HERE'S A LITTLE MOTIVATION:
DON'T GET SICK-GET EVEN, IT'S NOT JUST ANOTHER BAD FEELING, WHAT'S WITH
LIFE WHAT'S THE MEANING, AND THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT I'M NEEDING, YOU
PUT ME IN HERE, DON'T YOU KNOW A PUNK NEVER DIES, THAT'S JUST HOW IT
GOES
YOUR WORLD WITH ITS SILENT DISEASES, PUT POISON IN THE AIR I'M BREATHING,
I DON'T GET SICK-I GET EVEN WITH YOU THROUGH IN THROUGH
I'M OUT TO PROVE, THAT ALL OTHER MUSIC POLLUTES IF YOU THINK YOU GOT ME
LOCKED AWAY I'LL PICK THE LOCKS OR BEND THE CHAINS MY HEART WON'T STOP AS
LONG AS THE BLAST-BEAT'S BEATING I DON'T GET SICK-I GET EVEN WHO DO YOU
THINK YOU'RE CHEATING?
I DON'T GET SICK-I GET EVEN WITH YOU!
SO I HOPE YOU FEEL A WHOLE BUNCH BETTER BECAUSE I MUST ADMIT YOU ARE ONE
OF MY MOST HERALDED IDOLS OF SOCIAL DEGRADATION!

Joey Ramone has been in my life for twenty years or more and he will
always be in my heart. He has been a huge influence in my life and my life
would be poorer if I hadnt ever stumbled across the Ramones. Their music

seen me through over half my life and I thank Joey for that. Please get
well Joey, I am praying for you.

I was too young to see Ramones alive, but they changed

today. You will win.
Rafael, Curitiba, Brazil, 18

I want Joey to know how much I love him. His music has
been a tremendous inspiration to me, and has helped me through so many
difficult times in my life. I learned how to play bass, and wanted to do
so through listening to the Ramones. I want Joey to know that I am praying
for him, and was tremendously sorry to hear of his illness. He needs to
know what an impact he had on rock music. The Ramones were so ahead of
their time, and I feel they never got the reverence they deserved. God
bless you Joey.

Dear Joey, Yeah I want you to be well. You mean so much
to me. I love your singing and I love your taste in music. I've been
waiting for a Ramones reunion so I can see you perform again. I went to
four great concerts over the years in Australia and I want to thank you
for giving me so much happiness. Please try going on a raw organic juice
diet and keep your spirits up. We're all thinking of you.

During 10 years the band was part of my life. I love you with all my
strenght and dedicate several hours listen to ya. I´m from Brazil, so it´s

I realize that He is bigger than all of things and is able to change the
future, no matter what.
He´s calling for you, Joey. He loves you so much! He dies for you, man.

79.GREETINGS AND GET WELL WISHES FOR YOU JOEY
I hope all is going well. I cannot begin to say how
influential you, your songs, and your band has been to my life. You
simply taught me that an average person can make it if they are sincere to
their heart and goals and are willing to work hard. For me this has meant
a fun hobby in songwriting and a career in biology. Yes, I actually
quoted "gonna get my Ph.D., I'm a teenage lobotomy" as the preface to my
own doctoral dissertation. Take care Joey, please get well, and thank you
so much for everything.

Lars Ramone , 17, Finland

My Dearest Joey, following are some words I hope you will
hold close to your heart. I want to pass along the message, that with pure
intent, there is nothing you can not defeat. Imagine yourself standing in
your home while pointing a flashlight's beam outside and into a stormy
night. The storm has no power whatever to disturb the beam of light. Being
of a totally different nature than the storm, the light passes through
just as if the storm was not there. When our nature becomes different,
storms may rage but they cannot touch us. You are then in the world, but
not of it.
Every circumstance in your life is the result of some cause. To change,
you must take action, and all action is preceded by thought, both
conscious and subconscious. Since you control your thoughts, you control
the circumstances of your life.
You can rise to the challenges or you can let them push you down. You can
make the best of them, or you can let them get the best of you. It all
depends on how you respond. It all depends on how you see yourself. If you
see yourself as a victim, you will be. Life's difficulties will quickly
overpower you if you let them. When you see yourself as a participant in
life, as an effective and positively focused force, not only will the
challenges yield to your involvement, they will serve to make you
stronger.
Look at each challenge as an opportunity. What can you learn from it? What
can you do with it? How can you bring about something positive because of
it? When faced with a challenge, ask yourself this question. How can I
respond to this challenge so that a year from now, looking back at the
experience, I'll be overwhelmingly thankful that it came along?
The challenges are there and they will keep on coming. Rise to the
challenges. It's a great way to powerfully lift yourself up.
Each of us has the capacity to gain Higher Understanding in life. But most
of us are too comfortable in our suffering. We don't know anything else.
Even when someone tells us we can rise above our problems, we don't
believe it. Nevertheless, there is a way out, and anyone who honestly
wants to can find it. Some people are not happy unless they are miserable.
Having a strange love for gloom and doom, they are quite willing to share
their sorrows with you. If you
say something cheery they strike back, fearful of being robbed of their
dramatics. Being sad when others are glad is one way they attract
attention. Don't be influenced by them; don't let them scare you. You were
not born to be unhappy. See that they are all wrong and you will be all
right.
Heather, 30, Dallas, TX, USA

Joey, I don't know if you remember me, but I created the
alt.music.ramones newsgroup a few years ago. When you got wind of it, you
called to thank me. I wasn't home, but I saved the recording from my voice
mail. That has, and always will impress me. WHO ELSE but a Ramone would go
out of their way to acknowledge a fan like you did? Joey, I am an older
fan. I have listended to you since the mid-70's. The Ramones came along at
the perfect time for me, and have remained the soundtrack to my life ever
since.
Dearest Joey, you have my prayers -- I KNOW you can beat this! Besides,
there is that solo album you gotta complete :)
God bless Joey, I will be looking forward to seeing you when you go on
tour!
Always,

97.Greetings/Mentions for Joey
I am in the psychiatric field, and I have often found my
self humming your tunes with references to my field as I make rounds in
the hospital: "Gimme, gimme shock treatment", "Psycho Therapy (it's what
they want to give me)", "gulping down thorazines" (We're a Happy Family).
I have often told friends of the great shows I saw of yours back in the
80's on the East Coast, in Chicago, and in San Francisco. I especially
remember a wild scene in Hartford when security started punching out fans
who started stage diving as the band played on. I remember when Marshall
Crenshaw did a great acoustic version of your "The KKK Took My Baby Away"
at a show here in Chicago.
Good luck as you go through your treatments at the hospital. I hope you
realize what a positive effect you've had on many people, including me.
Thanks for the memories, and I look forward to future shows.
Marc, 36, USA

131.Greetings for Joey!
Joey, Im writing to say how important the Ramones were to
my life... Well, you're songs simply changed my way of seeing things. I
have a band, which plays a lot of Ramones covers and Im the vocalist and
guitarrist. I just wish I could sing so well as you do. The Ramones songs
always made me feel good, helping me in difficult moments of my life,
taking me out of my misery. You had such a power, such a energy, it would
make me wanna jump, shout and scream, forgeting everything that was bad. I
just started to listen to the Ramones in 1998, when I was 15, and the band
was already over. But since then, my biggest desire is to see the Ramones
live. I'm praying for your health man, and then, as soon as you get
better, I'll pray for the Ramones join back together, so me and a lot of
friends who weren't old enough to know you when you came here before will
go to the ramone's show in Brazil. Don't let rock'n roll die! The world
needs the Ramones...

Joey, I actually discovered the Ramones watching the
movie Rock and Roll High school in the summer after 5th grade. It was on
Hbo or something. I fell in love with the Ramones. To this day I love the
sound of a cranked up amp spewing power chords. I have a Marshall jcm 800
amp and I dont use any effects except for an additional didtortion pedal.
One of the first songs I learned was Blitzkrieg Bop. That was a long time
ago. I am not in a band but I still believe that could happen. I just go
about my life with my job, my wife and baby boy and it's cool. If I get
the chance to rock with a band I keep a good mentality about it and If it
happens I dont see why I couldnt have a great group. I get that attitude
from listening to your music. It has a strength and a special message. If
you are feeling down and you need a lift in your heart while in the
hospital, you should listen to some of your own music because I swear to
god it would help. But Im sure you've got it all figured out and whipped
by now. After all you're the one with the P.H.D.!
Brion Fowler ,age31 from Hawaii, USA
135.
Get well soon Joey. I just want to say that you and the
rest of the band have been my biggest musical inspirations. I started
playing the drums, and bass, and guitar all because I was so into Ramones
music. You are to music as Jackie Robinson is to baseball, and as Mario
Lemieux is to hockey, or Michael Jordan to basketball, well you get my
point. I just want to wish you all the best and hopefully my dream of one
day meeting you will become a reality. Gabba Gabba Hey!!!!!!!!

it short. Get well soon Joey and keep on rocking.

Maggie, USA

Hey Joey, I've listened to you for most of my life at
this point. The first show I ever went to was a Ramones show at City
Gardens in Trenton, NJ. In short, it changed my life, since that show I
haven't stoped going to shows. Also Your music influenced me to create
artwork, which got me into a well respected art school. Soon I decided to
major in photo and focus on photographing bands. I'm still in school but I
already have a pretty good rep and I owe much of it to you and that punk
rock madness! I really hope you get better soon, so we can all see you
sing again.
PS Sorry this was a little saddy, but I got all misty when I heard you
were in the hospital.
Megan, 23 years old, USA

Greetings to Joey! I JUST got into the Ramones a
couple months back....picked up Loco Live...and it absolutely blew my
mind! 1 2 3 4! Joey, your music radiates the heart & soul of rock n'
roll...and built the foundation for punk rock...a force which has picked
me up and carried me through anything or anyone who wishes to bastardize
my life. Coffee, cigarettes, and the Blitzkrieg Bop get me through the
day...you inspire me to keep kicking ass. I'm gonna get the fucking
hip-hop DJ to blast "Let's Dance" from the "It's Alive" recording at my
prom...the kids are gonna go ape-shit! I'm praying for your health...and
hope with all my heart that you can beat this cancer. All my
love, support, admiration, and prayers.

highschool and watch it especially to see you sing "i want you around." i

legend in the punk rock world and started it all for me. you have to be
okay cause i still want to meet you some day. everything will be
okay........

times than I can count, in many clubs across America, from the late '70s -
early '80s on ... When people ask me "Why have you never married?" I tell
them that I'm still holding out for Joey Ramone. You & the Ramones have
made me smile and dance my way through thick and thin, good times and bad,
and will ALWAYS be #1 to me. Please, my #1 true love, hold on and stay
with us. Ya know what ... "I believe in miracles, I believe in a better
life for me and you" ... and I wish a miracle for you today and always.

For 17 years your music has been nothing more than the
most purest of inspiration to me. There is not one bad song, not one
album, not one bad tour and etc! They are all unparalled in their own
right. We have been so blessed to have someone as gifted as you for our
Punk Rock father. You are the first and the true original!!! There is a
long line of bands who owe everything to you for their success. Nobody has
or will do it better than you have. I hope you are getting better and I
hope that one day soon you will be able to share that great talent with us
all once again. THANK YOU JOEY RAMONE and GET WELL SOON!!!!!!!!!

Talked to my ex-husband today and he told me Joey Ramone
was sick. I fell into tears. The Ramones are probably one of the only
things that him and I still have in common besides our son. Your music can
make me ecstatic even when I'm at my lowest. Me and my newborn daughter
were just dancing to the Ramones this morning.We love you with every ounce
of our being and feel the world is a much better place because of your
existence. I've never written to anybody like this before. I just adore
you so very much and hope that you start feeling better very soon.Love
you!!! Gabba Gabba Hey,

With all the excitement of a kid on Christmas, I tear
open the latest SPIN with music's GREATEST frontman on the cover ('bout
damn time , I might add!) & begin reading the long over-due article
chronicling the importance of rock's (not just punk's) GREATEST BAND. Then
I read the devastating news about your health & I read it again & again ,
hoping the words will change. I can't begin to put into words what you &
the RAMONES have meant to me. You've gotten me through more tough times
than I care to remember , and now I only wish I could be there to help
you. I had the pleasure of meeting you & your mom backstage at the Academy
in N.Y.C. in 1995 & that night still stands as one of my life's biggest
thrills , so much so that I ran to the nearest pay phone to call my-now
wife & tell her all about it! Please hang in there & get well soon! Just
like you've said to me "It's Gonna Be Alright". My thoughts & my prayers
are with you.
Lou Delvecchio , 30 , United States

Joey, we are all deeply concerned for your health. You have been an
inspiration to all of us, and have been a leading figures in one of the
truly seminal bands in US rock history. My thoughts and prayers go out to
you. Like so many other fans, I never got the chance to see you live. I
would love to have that chance in the not-so-distant future. I hope you
get better soon. Peace and Love, Bro. Gabba, Gabba Hey!

I read from the newspaper about Joey. I´m so sad...I read that 2 1/2 weeks
ago, and since that day ,I cry a lot and i pray for him, I play jazz and I
love playing but I can´t concentrate. Last year I met marky and dee dee
when they came to Argentina. The only things that I wanted in my life was
to meet the ramones and play jazz for a living,but now I only want joey to
get well, only that, he´s the best thing that ever happened to me. There
were times in my life that i wanted to die, but joey was my only reason to
live. I just want to tell him how important he is for me, and to give him
a big hug. If anything happens to him i´ll die of sadness.
183.Hey!
The Ramones rock, still do. Your music is awesome, dont
give up. the punk rock kids still love you, always will. The revolutionary
Ramones. Get well soon man. Get well.!!!!!!!!

184.WELL WISHES FOR JOEY.
Dear Joey,
About a year ago one of my best friends got cancer. Me and my
friends were all terrifyed we were going to loose him. Today he's cured.
From my perspective, it seems his positive attitude went a long way
towards his regaining his health. I still remember him saying, "there's no
way this is going to beat me" and he was right. I hope you have a simular
attitude now.
About ten years ago, I met you briefly outside the Living Room in
Providence, Rhode Island. Which is where my friends and I would always go
to see the Ramones. I remember saying then, and it still stands today,
that it couldn't have been any cooler to have met Townshend or McCartney.
I met one of the great Rock Pioneers. You've given so much to us all. I
hope in some small way we can give something back to you now. Get well.

Jason, 31, canada
205.This is a message for the great JOEY RAMONE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joey, I was shocked to hear of your illness. I have been
a Ramones fan from the minute I heard your music...half a lifetime ago, I
was a 16 year old kid searching for something other than the mundane crap
we are all fed on the radio...The Ramones were the answer to my dreams, a
band that was all about living and freedom and FUN! and Rock n' Roll!!!
about being true to yourself, and living your dreams. I was blown away by
the power and the deceptive simplicity...the Ramones had it all. No band
will ever come close. And I have always felt that you were really the main
focus of it all, the driving force and vision and heart behind the
greatest band in the world. I am sure you can see by the outpouring of
love at this difficult time that you have made an impact on SO many people
all over the world!!! Just remeber that we are all thinking about you and
praying for you and hope that you draw on the strength of all of your fans
to pull through this stronger than ever!!! I am going to school at NYU
now, so you can imagine that everywhere in the Village there are reminders
of the Ramones....it brings back great memories of when I first got old
enough to sneak into the city from NJ, and prowl around the place where it
all happened. Although I never made it to CBGB's, I was constantly hoping
to see one of you guys at a club or a record store, just to say hello.
Once I stumbled upon the barber's where you used to get your hair cut! He
said you were his favorite customer. Sorry to ramble on, but I really hope
this message gets to you, I want you to know I am sending you my support.
All my best wishes to get well soon!!!! and GABBA GABBA HEY!!!!!
