I don’t know. The piece I read by Johnny Ramone, about 2 years before his death, seemed to indicate longstanding, and deep political disagreemnet between him and the rest of the band.

Not sure if there was huge disagreement with the band over Johnny’s politics - they were as close as could be - and I knew them from ‘75 onwards. For some punk “trivia” - I lived in LA when there were maybe 50-70 identifiable “punks” on the scene. I used to draw cadaverous illustrations of “dead kennedys” and showed them at parties to...well, you probably get the picture...I’m so bad, I illustrated a punk magazine called “Vietnam Never Happened” - On the cover was a naked Josie and the Pussycats with (in the foreground) a Jughead from Archie comics, in a lotus posture, ignited by a can of gasoline, a la burning buddhist monks circa 1970. Viva la Nixon!
