Not sure how many punk fans there are in this community, but this was a pretty sad day for the punk rock scene. He is the third member of the Ramones to pass away in the last three years.

Johnny Ramone passed away at his home this afternoon (age 55) after a courageous five year battle with prostate cancer surrounded by his friends and family which included his wife Linda Cummings, Eddie and Jill McCormack, Rob and Sherrie Zombie, John Frusciante and Robert Carmine.
Johnny (Cummings) Ramone was the third member of the band to pass away in the last three years. The only surviving member is Tommy Ramone. Johnny leaves behind his wife, Linda, as well as his mother, Estelle.
Johnny will be greatly missed by everyone in the punk rock scene as well as the legions of Ramones fans around the world. {excerpt from my blog}

I saw the Ramones 10 years ago in Montreal. Very cool. What struck me was that Johnny was such a toothpick, and when he jumped from a tower of amps I thought he was going to crack in half.
