The Original Ramones

from Ongoing History of New Music · host Curiouscast

Friday, August 16, 1974, was a hot summer day in New York City…it was 31 degrees, but the humidity made it feel a lot hotter…and if you were down in the Bowery amidst all the concrete, it was hotter still...and it smelled. But what happened that night, when a bunch of punks took the stage at a scussy dive bar called "CBGB's", would change music forever. This is the story of the original Ramones.
