50 Years On, My Brain Remains Shaped by The Ramones Evan Schwartz recalls the punk rock moment that forever changed his view of life and the world.

“An entire generation saw The Ramones, and in the words of Danny Field, the band’s manager, they all said: 'Look at them. They can’t play. They’re terrible! They don’t know more than three notes…. Let’s start a band!'” - @evanischwartz.bsky.social in Oldster.

When is he going to Tel...os more?
