The Original Ramones

Ongoing History of New Music

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.
