Description

Lobotomy is probably the most lurid and not going temperance tract yet from the underbelly of rock ‘n’ roll. On a wild roller-coaster ride from his fucked-up childhood in Berlin and Munich to his lonely, methadone-quaffing stay at an inexpensive hotel in Earl’s Court and newfound peace at the straight and narrow, Dee Dee Ramone catapults us into the raw world of sex, addiction, and two-minute songs. It is not pretty. With the speed of a Ramones song, Lobotomy rockets thru headlining days at CBGB to the breakup of the Ramones’ happy circle of relatives with an unrelenting backbeat of hate and squalor. His girlfriend ODs; running buddy Johnny Thunders steals his ode to heroin, “Chinese Rocks”; Sid Vicious shoots up the use of rest room water; and a pistol-wielding Phil Spector holds the band hostage in Beverly Hills. Hey! Ho! Let’s go!
