GABBA GABBA HEY! My Ramones book's second birthday

It's been two years since the publication of my first book Gabba Gabba Hey! A Conversation With The Ramones. The official street date was around May 8th or 9th of 2023, though a number of folks already had physical copies in hand by the end of April. My first book! It was a great, great feeling.

I remain very proud of the book, and appreciative of all that my friends at Rare Bird Books did to design it, assemble it, edit it, publish it, and get it into stores. While I wish the book had found a larger audience, I look back on the experience with delight and wonder. I summarized that experience here. 

You can still purchase your very own copy of Gabba Gabba Hey! A Conversation With The Ramones directly from Rare Bird. It's also available from the usual online resources, your local bookstore can order it with ease, and you can even get autographed copies directly from me, though my own supply's getting pretty light; email ccdatsme@aol.com with inquiries in that regard. I also have copies of my latest book The Greatest Record Ever Made! (Volume 1), collectively serving up more CC than most could tolerate.

Today, I celebrate my first book's second birthday with a look back at my May 8th, 2023 in-studio appearance on Syracuse TV talk show Bridge Street, discussing the Gabba, the Gabba, and the Hey! with NewsChannel 9's Erik Columbia and Steve Infanti:

And now, welcome back to my ongoing Church of Ramones. Time for a reading from this good book.
