1977

"Chewin' out a rhythm on my bubblegum, the sun is out and I want some."
38 years ago today The Ramones released Rocket to Russia, my second-favorite Ramones album that gets juuuuust edged out by Leave Home, which also came out in 1977. It's the perfect summer album, so of course it got released in November and immediately fell into the same commercial dungeon their previous albums had. Which is a fucking crime. I can still picture that magical moment I finally got a vinyl copy in 1991 (back then you had to kill yourself searching for such things.)

Enjoy a truly wondrous record.
