August 13th, 1990. Geraldo Rivera on his namesake talk show brings us ‘Heavy Metal Moms’, this segment with Joey Ramone of The Ramones and his mom Charlotte Lesher.
“..it was everything, it was all the things that have gone down since the inception of rock and roll…and life.”
This family-oriented questioning asks Joey about if he’s married, and whether Charlotte expects grandchildren. We learn a little about Mr. Ramone’s childhood fascination with music and that the Ramones aren’t actually brothers…
Rest in peace Joey Ramone, whom passed away in 2001.
This day in Geraldo’s show history.
