Description

TOO TOUGH TO LOVE is Cynthia “Roxy” Whitney’s first-person account of her 20-year affair with punk guitar legend and Ramones co-founder Johnny Ramone – a story that has never been told until now. Even as such a lot fans have heard of the notorious love triangle of Johnny, singer Joey Ramone, and Joey’s girlfriend Linda Daniele (later Mrs. Johnny Ramone), only a few know that the “triangle” had a fourth side – Roxy. In her inimitable voice, she gives a no-holds-barred account of her life as a teenaged stripper in 1970s New York, the early days of punk and the Ramones, and the betrayal that just about shattered the band. Roxy used to be written out of the Ramones’ official history, but her relationship with Johnny continued in secret for a few years – even after his marriage to Linda. As told to spoken-word poet Emily XYZ, Roxy’s story is stuffed with vivid, funny, hair-raising and poignant details, and paints a much more complex and human portrait of Johnny than some other Ramones history or memoir thus far.
