‘MY RAMONES” REVEALS THE BAND BEFORE THEY HIT IT BIG

The original manager of The Ramones, Danny Fields, has a new book, ”My Ramones” featuring hundreds of unseen photos of the beloved punk band from 1972 to 1974. Those were the very early years, before the band achieved fame and success. Fields’ book has photos of the Ramones luxuriating at the Sunset Marquis hotel on an early visit to LA – they felt like celebrities because there was a pool right outside their doors. Joey Ramone, (the “godfather of punk”) who had Marfan Syndrome, was self conscious about his 6’6” height and tried to minimize it, as can be seen in the photo above, taken in Washington DC.

MICKEY ROURKE BRINGS HIS OWN WATER BOTTLE TO AGO RESTAURANT

Mickey Rourke looks like he’s wearing a crushed velvet jacket and a Louis Vuitton shoulderbag as he walks into Ago restaurant in West Hollywood. But the odd thing is the (cloudy) bottle of water in his hand. Who brings their own bottle of water to an upscale restaurant? Granted, California has been plagued by drought, but this is a first.
