99 per cent of Ramones t-shirt owners not upset
THE death of Tommy Ramone has left most people who wear Ramones t-shirts emotionally unaffected. People whose favourite item of clothing features the seminal punk band’s logo said they thought ‘Ramones’ was either a t-shirt company or some sort of drive-in restaurant. 26-year-old marketing executive Tom Booker said: “I had no idea that the Ramones t-shirt company had an in-house band. “That’s great positioning for their brand. Data shows that young consumers identify strongly with musicians.” Ramones t-shirt fanatic Mary Fisher said: “Was their music all about t-shirts? “Because I do think there aren’t enough songs about garments.” ========================================================================
This reminds me of a young chap (a student I think) who was sat in our local pub supping a pint one evening. He was sporting a T-shirt with Pennie Smith's iconic black & white image of Paul Simonon in the process of smashing his Precision Bass which later featured as the cover art for London Calling.
"Is that your favourite Clash album then?" I enquired, pointing at his top.
"Who?" he replied
