I disagree with David Byrne about that, but he would know better than I would. But my impression is that the Ramones did what they did to be taken at face value and not as an artistic statement. But I could be completely wrong.

I always regard TheRamones as perfectly *designed* PopArt. & NYC as having this particular quality of blending Art & the Street across so many Movements across the eras. I think of Yoko saying Lennon loved NYC cause it was like a huge Liverpool - another seaport with a history of past wealth & culture but also poverty & folk traditions (laughingly called 'The Capitol of Ireland')...

Aside- Todd said KNITTING FACTORY earlier. Last night I found my 1992 book by Michael Dorf of same name, a 5yr recap. He and crew were a sloppy buncha bizmen. He and partner Bob Appel go to holland to do a jazz fest In 1988 (after 1 yr in existence!). Writes “we were given great food, put up in nice hotels, and found ourselves treated like dignitaries. Music is an art form in Europe, whereas in America it is simply entertainment.”

@SQUINTS and clarke. Linda covered another Zevon classic on that "Simple Dreams" album, "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me." "Blue Bayou" gets her treatment, too. Did I hear that Linda's voice may be coming back a little?

English band, Vanity Fare, had the original hit version of "Hitchin' a Ride" back in 1970. They played it endlessly on KINT in El Paso, TX, while I was studying Vietnamese at Fort Bliss. The AM-radio hits from those days helped get me through the tedium and difficulty of the language study.

@Blissland. Asher put the APHEX AURAL EXCITER on Linda's voice and got certain effects that, in the opinion of many, were overkill for a woman with such a great voice already. Today, the big studio "toys" are PRO TOOLS and AUTO-TUNE. Progress marches on!
