R.I.P. Johnny Ramone

Johnny Ramone, seen here at the 2002 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, fought prostate cancer for five years.

The last of the original Ramones is gone. Although The Ramones never had a hit single or top 40 album and were overshadowed as punk innovators by later groups such as the Sex Pistols, they stuck it out for 22 grueling years.
