[edit] Hmm...

Why does this read **//$$&&^^ like a tribute to Johnny after his death.--75.24.185.27 02:59, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jewish John?

Is Johnny Jewish?

I don't think so, but it seems Joey is. 85.226.122.205 23:43, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tommy and Joey are, though

He seems to have the attributes, though, with his chin and all, however he is a conservative, which is demographically uncommon with the Jewish people, especially of New York. I know Joey and Tommy are Jewish, and that Dee Dee is a Christian (of what denomination, I am not sure). IP:205.188.116.198

PS: Thank you for responding to my prevous inquiry, I really appreciate it!

No mates, Johnny is Irish. That's how he met Joey's girlfriend. --BlueGlowGuardian 20:25, 18 February 2006 (UTC)


Only Joe was Jewish; Tommy is a gentile of Hungarian extraction, while John was a notorious antisemite (and racist). Kamandi 21:30 13 August 2006


[edit] The KKK Took My Baby Away

Is there a source on The KKK Took My Baby Away being written years before Joey's ex-girlfriend started dating John? There is a brief mention of evidence, but it doesn't reference any. Kikimm 09:13, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

No way could Johnny Ramone be Jewish. There is NO way anyone but his kin could prove that. Plus no evidence.

[edit] Too Tough to Die: A Tribute to Johnny Ramone

Starz Cinema presents the World Premiere of Too Tough To Die: A Tribute To Johnny Ramone on Saturday, September 15 at 10 p.m. (et/pt), the third anniversary of Johnny’s death. The fast strumming, three-chord guitar master and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer passed away just two-and-half days after this 30th Anniversary concert tribute to his band, the Ramones, the seminal punk band from Flushing, Queens.

The event was meticulously produced by career-spanning Ramones creative director Arturo Vega and hosted by musician/director Rob Zombie. Too Tough To Die includes performances by Tommy, Marky & CJ Ramone, as well as performances from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Dickies, X, Eddie Vedder, Henry Rollins, Pete Yorn and many others. In addition, there are heart-felt remembrances of Johnny by Lisa Marie Presley, Sonic Youth, Debbie Harry, Nicolas Cage, as well as many of the musicians.

Too Tough To Die: A Tribute To Johnny Ramone is directed by Mandy Stein and is A Plain Jane Production in association with Cactus Three. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.151.166.5 (talk) 20:49, August 22, 2007 (UTC)
