Today we celebrate the birth of one of the men who practically gave birth to America’s punk rock scene and the spirit and attitude that came along with it—frontman of the Ramones, Joey Ramone. The man who was as much a cultural icon as a music icon passed away in 2001 at the age of 49 after a seven-year battle with Lymphoma.
