Pocket Essay Re: Ramones, by Charles Carreon
Why Ramones play like they do:
To destroy the enemies of human freedom.
Why it sounds so good:
Full-spectrum sonic sun
pulses pure crystalline idiot bliss,
kicks nirvana into overdrive.
Why it's played so fast:
To harmonize with the buzz
of human anxiety in this smoke-filled age.
To give you the speed to escape.
Why it sounds so harsh:
To subdue conflicting emotions
and eradicate fear.
What you can do with it:
Cut LA in half with one clean stroke,
Raze Century City with a backhand swipe,
Vaporize the Hollywood sign with a glance, and
blow away all eight lanes of the
10 freeway with a single puff of breath.
