Hard to believe they're all dead--and at such young ages! And not from the usual drugs-and-rock'n'roll lifestyle, but from cancers of various types. Well, may the now reunited Ramones rock out in the afterlife tonight!
At that big rock 'n' roll high school in the sky.
No, I was wrong: Dee Dee Ramone did die from a drug overdose, but all the others were from cancer. (Odd fact: Ray Manzarek of the Doors also died from bile duct cancer.)
