Latest news (June 2010):
Richie has lived in New York, Los Angeles etc. They has asked me not to
write their present city.
Richie put the Ramones behind him unfortunately for a long time. Most of
the Ramones people didn't knew what he was doing or where he was. Then
he attended Joey's funeral on April 17, 2001, two days after Joey
passed away. Services began at 12:30 in Schwartz Brothers Memorial
Chapels. Johnny, Dee Dee and Marky couldn't be there, but Tommy, CJ and
Richie were in attendance - a very bold and heartfelt move from Richie,
who had been estranged from the other Ramones for years.
He
also appears in End Of The Century movie.
In late 2005 and early 2006 Richie E-mailed me about animal rights
situations, read more
here. And then came news that he plays at the Joey Ramone
Birthday Bash on May 19, 2006! And that did happen!
Richie Ramone was announced to play at the Bash also in 2008, sadly a
bit later arrived info that Richie Ramone had to cancel his
appearance. But he was playing and singing again at the Joey Ramone
Birthday Bash in 2009 and 2010.
Read more from my Richie Ramone
news, and for example also from here
of
the Birthday Bash 2010.
