He’s Tom Erdelyi, aka Tommy Ramone – their original drummer by default, producer of their best albums, and writer of songs like Blitzkrieg Bop.

While the other Ramones kept (got stuck in?) their “Ramone” persona, Tom kept his own identity, becoming the most “inside” objective resource on the early Ramones. Just as he was the spokesman for the band in their earliest days, he is, by default in a tragic sense, their spokesman again. I spoke with him a few days after Johnny Ramone’s passing.
