29th & 30th June 2007
Reviews by Gil Warguez
Ramones film screenings, Hollywood Forever, Hollywood, CA - June 29, 2007
On Friday evening, June 29th, world premiere screenings of TOO TOUGH TO DIE, the Johnny Ramone tribute by Mandy Stein, and the RAMONES AT US FESTIVAL 1982, took place at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, where Johnny Ramone's Memorial statue and Dee Dee Ramone's grave are located. Steve was sitting in the front row of the VIP area as the films were projected onto the side of one of the buildings. Steve makes an appearance in TOO TOUGH TO DIE with some kind words about Johnny.
Before the screening, Steve kicked two soccer balls signed by him into the crowd. Marky Ramone, Henry Rollins, Johnny Ramone's widow, Linda, P.J. Soles, who played Riff Randell in ROCK 'N' ROLL HIGH SCHOOL, Ramones creative director Arturo Vega, and Ramones tour manager Monte Melnick were among those also in attendance. I asked Steve if I could take some pictures for God Save The Sex Pistols / Kick Down The Doors, so he posed for me.
