Ramones get a lifetime Grammy

I remember interviewing Joey Ramone back in the late 90's, he seemed puzzled by some award granted to his band in Japan, but was happy to be flying off to receive it.

He's dead now, of course, as is two of the three other founding members of the group. Pity we couldn't catch sight of the four sixty-ish street punks in torn jeans tearing through "I Wanna Be Sedated" at the Grammy ceremony, but we know it never belonged there anyway.
