How to say "I'm with the band" in fifteen easy steps: Nerve.com - The Guide to Being a Groupie

Dee Dee Ramone died on June 6th. You probably know that. Robbin Crosby died on June 6th too. You probably never heard that. Yet Robbin Crosby sold a lot more records in his lifetime than Dee Dee did. Interesting article in the New York Times Magazine by Chuck Klosterman. "The reason Crosby's June 6 death was mostly ignored is that his band seemed corporate and fake and pedestrian; the reason Ramone's June 5 death will be remembered is that his band was seen as representative of a counterculture that lacked a voice. But the contradiction is that countercultures get endless media attention: the only American perspectives thought to have any meaningful impact are those that come from the fringes. The voice of the counterculture is, in fact, inexplicably deafening."
