As Nimmer's youngest would say "I am afflicted with the sadness".

Among other things, I'm a huge Ramones fan. I think it's a shame that the creative birthplace of an entire new culture is going away (or at least going to Vagas, apparently) while every place Washington ever stopped to pee is a historical landmark. Maybe it would be better for it to go out with a blaze of glory, instead of like Elvis, bloated and flatulant on the toilet.

The full name is CBGB & OMFUG which stands for "Country Bluegrass Blues and Other Music For Uplifting Gormandizers"

Here's some classic Ramone's lyrics:


Beat on the Brat

Beat on the brat
Beat on the brat
Beat on the brat with a baseball bat
Oh yeah, oh yeah, uh- oh
What can you do?
What can you do?
With a brat like this always on your back
What can you do? (lose? )

And

We're A Happy Family

We're a happy family
We're a happy family
We're a happy family
Me mom and daddy.
Siting here in Queens
Eating refried beans
We're in all the magazines
Gulpin' down thorazines.
We ain't got no friends
Our troubles never end
No Christmas cards to send
Daddy likes men.
Daddy's telling lies
Baby's eating flies
Mommy's on pills
Baby's got the chills.
I'm friends with the President
I'm friends with the Pope
We're all making a fortune
Sellingd Daddy's dope.

REPEAT
And last but certainly not least, a timely little ditty:

Cretin Hop

There's no stoppin' the cretins from hoppin'
You gotta keep it beatin'
For all the hoppin' cretins.
Cretin! Cretin!
I'm gonna go for a whirl with my cretin girl
My feet won't stop
Doin' the Cretin Hop.
Cretin! Cretin!
1-2-3-4
Cretins wanna hop some more
4-5-6-7
All good cretins go to heaven.

Twenty, twenty, twenty-four hours to go, I wanna be sedated.......

I was in a punk band back in that day, did Ramones covers. Sigh.
