This is about Miles Davis.
It is early evening in Zagreb, Croatia. I have been on the festival circuit since last week, living on a tour bus where every bunk is occupied. It’s crowded and we all know each other quite well now.
The festival setting is often a tragiclectic mix of ancient and new.
Linda Ramone and ex-Sex Pistols’ Steve Jones have been hosting a Johnny Ramone Tribute at Hollywood Forever Cemetery for 12 years, and the event is still going strong. I attended the tribute on Sunday, on Linda’s birthday, and a large crowd of colorful punk families and die-hard Ramones fans had spread over the lawn to watch the cult movie ‘Rock & Roll High School’, featuring the Ramones of course.
The Johnny Ramone Tribute 2016 event, set for on July 24 at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, will feature screenings of two classic punk rock films and a panel discussion about those movies led by two classic L.A. punk rockers, organizers said.
