Description

Dee Dee Ramone's memoir is a raw and unflinching account of his life, from a tumultuous childhood in Europe to his struggles with addiction and his time in the Ramones. This is a story of sex, addiction, and music, told with the same energy and velocity as the Ramones' songs. Ramone's story takes us from the highs of headlining at CBGB to the lows of his personal struggles, including the overdose of his girlfriend and the theft of his songwriting partner Johnny Thunders. The book is a harrowing and unrelenting portrayal of the darker side of rock 'n' roll, with a backbeat of hate and squalor that propels the narrative forward. A candid and unvarnished look at the life of a rock 'n' roll icon, Lobotomy is a memoir that is as much about the music as it is about the man behind it.
