Just met Tommy Ramone!

[Jim Clark]

Had to take some time away. First order of business was to deal with very belated private messages that I just now got!

Now, just got back from an autograph session with Tommy Ramone who is in town to perform with his bluegrass outfit (no joke) Uncle Monk. I have tickets but have other commitments (which is why I vanished in the first place). Gonna have to let the oldest son go and take a friend in my place.

There aren't many grown men I'm gonna leave work early for, stand in line, and ask for an autograph. Anyone with the last name of Ramone is likely to be an exception. Tommy was very cool and signed my jacket of the first Ramones release. Jr. had him sign his Ramones Tshirt. Never saw them perform live so this is as close as I'll ever get.

Posting a pic, make fun of my biscuits and gravy fueled frame but please take it easy on the boy.

Tommy rules!
