Very cool. Reminds me of the "End Of The Century" documentary. I visited Johnny and Dee Dee's graves as well during last years Johnny Ramone Tribute Show. Fun fact, Vampira's grave is located across from Dee Dee's grave. I was too young to ever see them live, unfortunately. Great job on the video!
Thank you so much for the compliment!!! I wasn't sure how to talk about them because I never grew up listing to them. I always worshipped the downtown counter culture scene. I was too little to experience anything. Last year, I decided to start reading about it. I'm the baby of my generation (40s), my cousins are in their 60s-70s. My bohemian cousins ran around to all the clubs. One cousin saw the Ramones, Patti Smith, and a bunch of other people back in the day. That cousin met Basquiat at a party and went to school with Haring (so envious). Actually, I always wanted to be like that bohemian cousin (didn't happen). I'm really enjoying Richard Hell's music at the moment. He was mentioned a few times in the 2 memoirs. We saw her grave! Hollywood Forever Cemetery is awesome. One of my favorite old timey gangsters, Bugsy Siegel is buried there. So many people are buried there: Mel Blanc, Estelle Getty, etc. It was nice to visit them all. Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my video! And thanks, I will watch the documentary when I have time :)
