Summary: DEE DEE SHOULDN"T HAVE BEEN SO SAD.
Comment: This book doesnt read like a history of a rock star. As the title suggests, this is more of a memoir or diary of a lonely rocker who is well past his prime. It is more than likely his drug habit which relegated him to touring in a van with a third rate backing band 30 years after he broke the mold with the Ramones. However, even with all of the brain drain that drugs cause, he was still a caring and artistic guy.
I would have liked to have seen a bit more "life on the road" details here, but I think the book is well worth your time. If anything, kids who wanna form a band and start touring should learn from Dee Dee's mistakes.

Summary: Get inside Dee Dee's mind
Comment: This book is great for gaining insight on what was going through Dee Dee's mind shortly before his death. The book takes us through Dee Dee's journal entries as he travels with his band to promote a new album. Ramone takes you through the groupies he encounters, drugs that are offered, promoters that are scammers and much more. This is a very honest take on life on the road from someone who had done it for years.

Summary: Dee Dee No Dum-Dum
Comment: Who would have imagined the soul of one of the world's foremost punk bands was so literate? This book, whilst mixed with both hard-edged rock lifestyle and drug-induced fantasy nonetheless is arguably one of the sincerest perspectives of the real story behind the rock 'n' roll dream. Dee Dee was a journalist. His writing style -- exactly like his songwriting style -- was brief and to-the-point. Anyone who could change the direction of music through a two-minute song can be expected to make his contributions to literature through two-page chapters. The essence of the Ramones' and Dee Dee's success was staying true to your muse. It got bandmates and him into the Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame. It oughta get this book into your hands. Dee Dee was no dum-dum
