“Dragons . . . Imagine one flying over one of the meadows, high above New York City’s Central Park, one crowded Sunday afternoon. Maybe this dragon could be Joey Ramone. I don’t see why not. He could be a beautiful golden-amber colored one with a silver lightning ambience radiating from his body and wings. He’d have two flashing and loving eyes and would wink down at everybody staring up at him in amazement. Then he would spread his fiery wings and fly towards the sun to California to go surfing and to have some fun.”

—Dee Dee Ramone, from Legend of a Rock Star, 2002.
