VH1 and the Ramones don't mix. Maybe Joey outlived his importance. Maybe he was supposed to die young like Sid Vicious or James Dean. Maybe all punks are supposed to. Think about it.
Punks are kids.
They're against the establishment. If you grow up you become the establishment. That's just the way it goes. Even rockers like Joey faced it, but I think it was even worse for him and the Ramones. All punk became cartoonish.
