* It was pointed out that this track is not the best representation of the Ramones, but I like how it fits with the book. If you want to  check out classic Ramones try "Teenage Lobotomy" or "I Want to be Sedated", two of their big hits.

** This is the song I picture Curt and his mom dancing around the kitchen to.

*** A freind of mine said this was the song that kept going through his mind during the scene where Curt and Troy spend the day together. I absolutely agree.

**** Off the Live from NYC album -  awesome song!
