Above: C-Jay wore Dee Dee's
old jacket for months after joining the band.
Can you say BLASPHEMY? After the
jackets are taken off they are locked
in a road case. They are taken out of
that same road case at the last minute
before the next show. (So the jacket was
still in the case when Dee Dee quit)
(Greek Theater, Berkeley, Aug 11, 1990)
I'm sick of getting hate mail for that!
C-Jay saved the rest of the Ramones careers Okay...?

Left: ... but he was no Dee Dee.
Here is Dee Dee with his custom bass,
(modeled after Gibson Thunderbird)
Last show at Irving Plaza, NYC
