Each week, the pop culture website Pop-A-Looza shares some posts from my vast 'n' captivating Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks Do) archives. The latest shared post is my 1996 review of the reissue of my favorite live album, It's Alive by the Ramones.
If you want to see a few more examples of me talking about the group I call the American Beatles, the greatest American rock 'n' roll band of all time, I've got you covered: a review of reissues of the Ramones' first four albums, a more in-depth appreciation of Rocket To Russia, a consideration of the underrated Subterranean Jungle album, seeing the Ramones with the Runaways and the Flashcubes, a celebration of the incredible B-side "Babysitter," and inducting the Ramones into the Power Pop Hall of Fame.
That certainly is not all I've written about the Ramones, and I'm certainly not done writing about the Ramones. But right now, let's turn the spotlight on an amazing document of the fabulous Ramones in their natural on-stage habitat. HEY! WE'RETHERAMONESANDTHISONE'SCALLED"ROCKAWAYBEACH!" 1-2-3-4!!! The Ramones' It's Alive is the subject of the latest Boppin' Pop-A-Looza.
