“...every band tries to achieve a distinguished trademark sound, but few accomplish it. That’s the ultimate goal, is to have a sound that’s your own sound.” - Joey Ramone

@ErikVoorhees Still is.
Some of us never forgot.

1976 — they said music shouldn’t belong to the labels.

2026 — same fight, different protocol.

May 22, 2010.
A man paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas.
Everyone laughed.
1976 — they laughed at the kids with guitars and safety pins too.
Nobody’s laughing now. 🐸⚡

The Ramones land in Europe.
May 20, 1976.
Their album is 27 days old.
Europe doesn’t know what’s coming.
29 minutes of music
about to detonate across a continent.
Some things travel faster than the press. 🦎⚡

Today we remember lan Curtis, whose voice, words, and presence continue to echo through generations since his passing on May 18, 1980 - forever missed, forever heard.
