Was just listening to an interview from 1981 with the Ramones, and it made me think of that song by Jim Carroll, "People who Died."

Rather than being a depressing post....I thought it might be nice to "memorialize" those that we loved, liked or admired from the NW era who have passed on:

Can you think of any ?

Joey Ramone

Dee Dee Ramone

Johnny Ramone

Stuart Adamson [:(]

I was listening to a live version of "Angle Park" today. What a fantastic performer he was.

I was VERY upset when Patty Donahue of The Waitresses died in the late 90s.
Ben Orr, also a big loss
Warren Zevon, 2003 - very sad

There was another post from where are they now - and I must mention Cee Farrow. It seems as though there is not much out there regarding his death.

Robert Palmer was a shock also. I'd seen him live in the "Addicted to Love" era and thought he was great. Also of note to WLIR fans, I heard 80's DJ Mark 'the Shark' Drucker passed away recently. He was a friend of Howard Stern and Howard did a nice 30 mi

The ones that touched me most were probably:

Joey Ramone
DeeDee Ramone
Johnny Ramone
Joe Strummer
Kirsty MacColl

Although, I'm always really touched when someone passes away.
