Social Casualty

Because I can't update at all from my computer, I thought I would update my "What's New" page in a post. This week, the following CDs will be available:

1.  5 Seconds of Summer - 5 Seconds of Summer
2.  Nobody's Smiling - Common
3.  Heaven & Earth - Yes
4.  Trouble in Paradise - La Roux
5.  The Very Baddest (2xCD) - ZZ Top
6.  Do You Wanna Start a War - Fozzy
7.  In Technicolor - Jesse McCartney
8.  Delicate Forever - Steve Roach

I will definitely be making a purchase this week.  5 Seconds of Summer, I have been waiting for this album for a year.  Congratulations.

And the last time I saw Jesse McCartney he was being killed in Chernobyl Diaries.  Yikes.

Sorry

I am so sorry I haven't posted all week. I have no internet at the moment and Verizon has yet to fix it. Posting from my phone is difficult, but I'll have to start because I don't know how much longer I'll be without internet.

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow

Tommy Ramone has died at the age of 65.  He was the co-founder of the group and was the last surviving member.

Back in 1974, Tommy, the drummer, formed the band with singer Joey, guitarist Johnny, and bassist Dee Dee.  No, they are not related.  They all decided to take on the same last name for the band.

Johnny Ramone, left, died in 2004 at the age of 55 from prostate cancer.  Joey Ramone, second from right, died in 2001 at the age of 49 from lymphoma.  Dee Dee Ramone, right, died in 2002 at the age of 50 from a heroin overdose.

Tommy died this past Friday from bile duct cancer.

But even though the original members have died, their presence lives on.  In 2002, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and are considered to be one of the greatest bands of all time.
