You can't change music by yourself.
Pure, white rock 'n' roll, with no blues influence.
Rocket to Russia' is, I think, my favorite Ramones record. We reached our peak at that point.
Two of my biggest heroes were my father and John Wayne.
I didn't want the Ramones being told what to be doing, and I wanted the Ramones being presented in the right light - the remaining Ramones.
I was the one who was always scowling, downcast. I tried to make sure I looked like that when I was getting my picture taken.
