Rock 'n' roll is meant to entertain. Hippie folk singers are supposed to be singing about leftist views, but I don't think rock 'n' roll was ever that way. I don't remember the early rock 'n' rollers ever expressing any political views.

The bigger the show, the better I'd play. It was what I was waiting for, and I'd never get nervous.

Rocket to Russia' is, I think, my favorite Ramones record. We reached our peak at that point.

Pure, white rock 'n' roll, with no blues influence.

I think Ronald Reagan was the best President of my lifetime.

You also get so wound up playing a show that a lot of people need something to bring them down. People who don't know how to handle the situation take drugs. I didn't. I went back to my room with milk and cookies.

My favorite album would have to be Rocket To Russia. I feel this album has the most classic Ramones songs.
