Yeah I was surprised to hear he was kind of a hippie for a while and then really into glam rock. It was actually Mickey the younger brother who first started feeling out music with Johnny Ramone and you really get a feel in the book for what colossal a*****e Johnny was
I reviewed a biography of his for a magazine that was written by his brother ( this is the article I wrote) and I was really amazed at some of the history behind his life and how eccentric he was long before he was ever famous.
