PROFILE: Mrs. Ramone's mistake times four arrived kicking and screaming on the music scene just when things seemed bleakest and the world wallowed in multitracked despair; these lightning fast children of the cheeseburger careened through the biz like a '65 pink Mustang, slicing through pretentiousness with one rusty chop of Johnny Ramone's paw, bringing new meaning to the phrase "All-American," and putting Jimmy Carter to shame. Welcome to the 80's, Miz Lillian!
BEER: Boy Howdy!
