Everett True does a fine job of mythbusting, with a sensitive and nuanced account of the band. All the expected biographical bases are covered. True doesn’t shy away from criticising them, collectively or individually, but he gives the reader plenty of insights and genuine appreciation of the band and their music. Just one example: his discussion of ‘Rockaway Beach’. He correctly identifies the song’s sixties inspirations, quotes Legs McNeil’s depiction of Rockaway Beach’s awfulness, then concludes by saying, “But that was the genius of the Ramones: they could find beauty in the unlikeliest of spots”. True thereby places them in an artistic tradition which focuses on, even glamorises, the demi-monde. Like, for instance, the writer Tobias Wolff, the Ramones can find, and create for us, beauty in ugliness.
True also quotes from many, many other writers, showing how at the time and subsequently, the band has had a huge influence. He has interviewed a raft of people, then and more recently, to garner a range of opinions and observations. At 341 pages of text it’s a mighty tome, exhaustive. If you have any interest in the Ramones you must buy this book.

One of the best music based books I've read and kudos to the author, Everett True, a journalist I have admired since my teens. Highly recommended
