Could you give my coins to Danisty?

You could have just written LAMF, Chris But yeah, very good, the Heartbreakers recorded it originally. Dee Dee presented it to the rest of the Ramones but they originally refused to record it and so he gave it to Johnny Thunders who was a good friend of his at the time. As a follow up question, can anyone tell me WHY the Ramones didn't want to record Chinese Rock (though they did end up doing a version of it years later)?

And yeah, I can give the coins to Danisty, no problem. I'll frubal you though, because you deserve a reward for knowing that.

Right again! Which is kind of ironic because they had already recorded Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue and went on to record other drug themed songs like Carbona Not Glue. Though as I said, they ended up doing a version of Chinese Rock, changing only the opening lyric from "Somebody called me on the phone, said Hey, is Dee Dee Home" as the Heartbreakers sang it, to "Hey is Artie Home" an homage to Arturo Vega...

As for me being young.. I know, I'm way too young to know 90% of the musical facts I know. I know more about the onslaught of punk than most of the people I know who were actually alive when it happened I'm a bit of a Punk (and Rock N Roll in general) history buff (and damn proud of it). Shall I give these coins to Danisty again? I'd frubal you again, but I must spread some around first.

Ok, next question.

When exactly (as in the date) is the Day the Music Died and why is it called that?

[ChrisP]

Umm give 'em to Buttercup.

I'd answer this one, but I'd be hogging. HINT: It was a plane crash that killed a large number of early rock'n'roll artists. (now all ya gotta do is name em)
