"Mickey Leigh's story makes for compelling reading. I Slept With Joey Ramone is funny, sad, shocking and surprising and best of all, brutally honest." -- John Holmstrom, Co-founder of PUNK Magazine

Synopsis
"BLITZKRIEG BOP." "ROCKAWAY BEACH.""I WANNA BE SEDATED." "SHEENA IS A PUNK ROCKER.""ROCK 'N' ROLL HIGH SCHOOL."When the Ramones recorded their debut album in 1976, it heralded the true birth of punk rock. Fast and frenetic in their leather jackets and torn jeans, the Ramones gave voice to the disaffected youth of the seventies and eighties, influenced countless bands, and inspired the counterculture for decades to come.Born Jeffry Hyman of Queens, New York, Joey Ramone was the quirky, extraordinary lead singer and cofounder of the band. Hiding his face behind signature sunglasses and a mop of dark hair, he helped define punk's early image, and his two-decade-plus tenure as the Ramones' front man made him unforgettable. Told by Joey's brother, Mickey Leigh,I Slept with Joey Ramoneprovides an intimate look at the turbulent life of one of America's greatest -- and unlikeliest -- music icons.With honesty, humor, and grace, Mickey shares the fascinating, sometimes troubling story of growing up with an emotionally distressed brother who becomes a rock star and the effect it had on their family. He shows how Joey used music to cope with mental illness; embraced the glam nightlife of the New York scene; launched CBGB alongside bands like the Talking Heads and Blondie; and brought punk to Britain, clashing with the Sex Pistols and changing music history.Ultimately, betrayal and infighting would end the band. While the music lives on for new generations to discover,I Slept with Joey Ramone is the enduring portrait of a man who struggled to find his voice and of the brother who loved him.

    Awesome Book

    Amazing book. The book will present you a lot of interesting information. I will also recommend you reading Johnny's and Dee Dee's books to get the whole picture. Overall, Mickey does a great job describing Joe's life and personality. Highly recommend book.

    Great read. never knew so much about Jeff, Joey and Charlotte.

    read it years ago and still have that paperback copy but as a Ramones fan I thought it would be kool to own the hard cover copy.
