First of all, punk rock guys are SUPPOSED to be dead. One, two albums, that's it.
This is not Crosby, Stills and Nash, making crappier and crappier albums until they're in their 80s. This is PUNK ROCK, man! These guys are supposed to make one, two records, and then have some cataclysmic event that causes them to stop making records.
And most of the dead guys died BECAUSE they took their "vitamins". And what could be more punk than that?
I give big props to The Clash. Love 'em. But The Ramones made it all possible.
Plus, Joey Ramone was uglier than all the guys in The Clash combined.
