Look, if you're a Ramones fan, you may want to pick it up anyway, but really, all the best bits in here are covered in Legs McNeil's stellar PLEASE KILL ME; which covers the punk movement in its' entirety, and much more effectively than this whining, complaining, finger-pointing tome of malcontent. Dee Dee looks back on his time in the Ramones without a trace of the humor and insightfulness that made the Ramones so unique, and there are many unfortunate and confusing omissions, most strangely no mention (not one!) of his earlier marriage. Trust me: leave this one behind and pick up PLEASE KILL ME. (and no, I'm not the author of that book)(I'm not even related)
