No Song Should Be Over Three Minutes

Happy birthday, Johnny Ramone. Hard to believe he died over ten years ago.  He was the captain of The Ramones, keeping them in line, as well as their all-downstroke guitarist who, as much as any band member, gave them their signature sound.  He also wrote some of their best songs. (I own a videotape that used to be in his private collection of movies.  I won it in a raffle.)

TIP Johnny. Interestingly enough, my newspaper says it is CJ Ramone's birthday today

True about CJ, but he obviously doesn't compare to Johnny. On the other hand, Mike Nesmith and Davy Jones were both born on December 30th--who got the bigger celebration back when they were big?
