Dee-Dee Ramone's ghost haunting Varvatos in a friendly way
Did you read Dee Dee’s three books? Chelsea Horror Hotel & his autobiography? Totally entertaining, if pure fiction. I personally like the part where he describes how his teenage girlfriend and him killed a man in Norway. You can just feel him breaking with reality.
[Vera Ramone King, Dee-Dee’s widow] tells me what finally convinced her to write a Ramones memoir after all these years: Dee Dee speaking from the grave.With a spooky intensity, she says, “He asked me to write this book.” Given how he comes across in the book— like a violent, rage-filled perpetual adolescent—his ghost might be having second thoughts.
