Synopsis
The late Dee Dee Ramone was the composer of many of the most significant songs of perhaps the most important band of the punk era, the Ramones. Written with the help of punk chronicler Legs McNeil, Dee Dee's autobiography, LOBOTOMY, is inseparable from the story of the band he helped create. An abused child whose army family was constantly on the move throughout his youth, Dee Dee sought refuge in mentally composing and orchestrating songs throughout his teens. With masterly understatement, he notes that people who join bands like the Ramones don't come from the most stable of backgrounds--his own, itemized by his co-author McNeil, included male prostitution, heroin dealing, and attempted mugging. Rock & roll in general and punk rock in particular represented an outlet for his creative energies that almost certainly saved him from jail. An atmospheric and sometimes disturbing account of a marginal existence that blossomed into music legend, LOBOTOMY is a superb first-hand account of just what it took to be a part of one of the most influential bands in rock.

Industry Reviews
"Add this surprisingly readable, charmingly spaced out memoir to the pantheon of dope fiend literature, right up there with William S. Burroughs' Junky."
Entertainment Weekly - Tom Sinclair (11/24/2000)
