Hey, Rolling Stone lifted a Johnny Ramone quote about The Bay City Rollers verbatim from my 1994 Goldmine Ramones interviews. Attribution woulda been nice. Does this mean I've arrived?
Rolling Stone: "I think we wanted to be a bubblegum band," says Johnny
of the Ramones' early days. "At one point, the Bay City Rollers were
becoming popular. They had written 'Saturday Night' and we sat down and said, 'We have to write a song with a chant in it, like they have.'"
