good ski, the snow was cold and the girls were friendly

 I spent the month of July 1959 at Squaw Valley, courtesy of the US Army. Our battalion was charged with installing communications at the ski jumps, prior to the 1960 Squaw Valley Winter Olympics. Needless to say, we had weekends off and Tahoe was the destination. At that time development was scarce around the lake, and it was very beautiful, the water was cold and the girls were friendly. We had a good time. Haven't seen it since.

My best memories are of my formative years in the Tahoe Basin. This was from 1952 to 1961. Things changed after the 1960 Winter Olympics.
 
I LOVE LAKE TAHOE 💗

Ramones - I Wanna Be Sedated


1978

“I enjoyed my life when I had nothing... and kinda like the idea of just being happy with me.” - Joey Ramone 

Went to a Ramones concert in SF in 1982. all the songs are 1:45 long. So I thought the concert would be over in 35 minutes. Best 35 minutes of MY LIFE!

Recorded originally in 1978, but this video was shot ten years later, 1988
My dad loved this song. He passed away in 2019 at age 85 and we played it at his wake. RIP Dad and all the band

This single-take video is fantastic

This was my grandpa’s favorite song before he died in 2016. RIP You had good taste gramps

My mom listened to this song all the time when I was a little kid. No wonder I listen to the music I do now

Your mom rocks

My husband grew up with the Ramones there from Forest hills Queens and they are Orthodox Jews

The Ramones are from Forest hills Queens and they were Orthodox Jewish I guess this is their way of rebellion against their face

The only band i managed to see over ten times...

the best music video ever created. Directed by Billy Fishman, guy I used to hang with, years ago

Ramones knew what they were doing when they wrote songs, short, great sound and easy to learn

I am so glad I got see them live. They played an early show at Lollapalooza in the 90’s and I was right up front. Props to them for wearing leather jackets in that TN heat.

I Art Directed this video - designed built painted the set with help from Gilbert Mercier for I think $400, this really is a very low budget yet effective video. I made 5 break away walls with vermiculite/baby powder "bombs" yet you can't see the guy breaking through the mid right wall and grabbing the nun in this take. the left wall is the stage wall, the right wall is built. 3 takes 1/2 speed. L.A. scenemakers as extras including Rodney Bingenheimer as the pinhead. Bill Fishman (who I also worked with on Tapeheads & Bootsy Collins "Party on Plastic") told me he wished he'd done a couple of 1/4 speeds but felt like he was putting the Ramones through too much already. They were very cooperative with the filming and I think would have done 5 more. The entire crew was instructed to not tell any Ramones people where drugs could be obtained. One of the greatest rock bands ever. Introduced myself and they completely ignored me. So anyway Bill picked the take where you can't see the guy bursting through the wall in a cloud of baby powder and vermiculite and Nick Goodman's free rental plane crashed. Sorry Nick

and Courtney Love dressed as a bride dancing with Zippy...

this video is literally what the world in 2025 looks like.

Who’s watching RAMONES in 2025?🖤

I am. But am old.
