Mickey Leigh, president of Ramones productions and brother to the late Joey Ramone, has issued a statement about Linda “Ramone” Cummings, the wife of the late Johnny Ramone. According to the statement Linda has been in the media joining with the Palin family and the McCains to attempt to aid their campaign for the Presidency. Due to Linda’s use of the surname “Ramone” during this, Mickey issued this statement:
I just want it to be clear that Linda Cummings does not represent the political views of the Ramones. Surely, as for Joey Ramone, the only Ramones song he would sing at a Republican campaign event would be ‘Glad To See You Go!’
I should add that when Johnny stated ‘God Bless George Bush’ at the 2002 Rock&Roll Hall of Fame awards, I realize now that he was on to something. Because if it were not for George Bush and his handling of our country the past 8 years, I doubt so many Americans, including so many highly regarded Republicans, would now be getting behind Barack Obama. So, yes, thank God for George Bush for paving the way to Obama.
Conversely, Meghan McCain, daughter of Senator McCain is a self-professed punk rocker. She endorses the Ramones and speaks on Fox News right here.
The conclusion she and Linda reach is that the only way to be punk rock is to be conservative.
