Baby-sitting with the RAMONES: Will the kids be alright?

She said she's babysittin' tonite

She said come over, it's alright. . .*

My little brother is two years old and his favorite record is The Ramones. I babysit for him a lot and he makes me play it over and over again. He knows the words to "Blitzkrieg Bop," "I Don't Wanna Go Down To The Basement," "Havana Affair" and "Loudmouth." He finishes Joey's words for him. When Dee Dee sings on "53rd and 3rd," he yells "Dee Dee! Dee Dee!"

My little brother never met Dee Dee. He met Joey though, and I think he was scared. Joey was so big, his hair was so long and black, and he had those funny little round glasses. He'd never seen anyone quite like that before. Joey turned out to be okay, though. Joey walked him to the ice cream store and got him a cone.
