Am reading a bio of Joey Ramone, written by his brother.
WB had just bought out Sire Records, and the Ramones were on that label.
The rest is history.....
At the same time the Ramones were in New York City, future filmmaker Allan Arkush was in Hollywood working for Roger Corman, B-Movie King....."I wanted to make a movie about blowing up a high school......at a meeting at Warner Bros., " Alan remembers, "a guy named Carl mentioned some bands like Van Halen and Devo, which I passed on."
The rest is history.....
