I was reading a collection of Ramones interviews (don't judge) and Tommy did come off as the most intelligent and together individual in the bunch by a very wide margin. He was their manager in the early years, too.
Uncle Monk came thru and played at a coffee shop in town a while back. Hard to sell that show as all the press was 'the only surviving original Ramone!' yet the music is nothing like the Ramones. Sadly I missed that one, but was glad to hear he is still kicking around.
