During excursions and pilgrimages years ago to Salem and Portland record stores, a friend and I would make a point to stop and ponder the song titles on Ramones albums and chuckle. (It's probably a good thing for the two of us that a genuine die-hard Ramones fan didn't walk by and take offense.) We would occasionally bring them up as a topic in casual conversation. Talk about being a couple of "Pinheads." Eventually though, I started listening to the actual songs. Maybe it was because of the MTV video for "Pet Cemetary." I used to think of The Ramones as Punk Rock ..... but it's really just fun Rock! Songs that are guitarish, short and quick and meant to be played loud!! Even if "Shelia Is A Punk Rocker" and "Suzy Is A Headbanger."
