Ramones on PBS, Gabba Gabba Hey!

Mark your calendars now, April 26, 2005 at 10PM.

End of the Century, the documentary that covers the original punk band The Ramones from their beginnings as "brothers" in Queens, NYC to their end as battling siblings embroiled in ongoing disputes will be shown on PBS in full, I am told.

A note to dedicated Ramones fans who have not yet seen the film that has shown for about a year in independant film venues in North America: This is not a feel-good film. Much of Johnny's and Joey's hatred for each other is documented by this film, as is Joey's OCD.

From the reviews I have read, this film will leave Ramones fans sad about the brothers, rather than proud about their music.

Gabba Gabba Hey!!
