Another Rock Loss

R.I.P. Johnny Ramone (1948-2004)



LOS ANGELES — Johnny Ramone -- guitarist and co-founder of "The Ramones" -- has died.

He was 55. His publicist says he died in his sleep Wednesday afternoon at his Los Angeles home surrounded by friends and family. He had battled prostate cancer for five years.

He co-founded "The Ramones" in 1974 with Joey Ramone, DeeDee Ramone and Tommy Ramone, the only surviving member of the original band.

"I used to be on an endless run.
Believe in miracles 'cause I'm one.
A have been blessed with the power to survive.
After all these years I'm still alive.
I'm out here cookin' with the band.
I'm no longer a solitary man."
--Dee Dee Ramone..
