Author: Ramone, Dee Dee with Kofman, Veronica

Poison Heart takes the reader on a breakneck tour from a dysfunctional childhood - heroin - punk rock and the heyday of The Ramones to internal wrangling, gruelling tours and methadone clinics. Along the way, Johnny Thunders and Stiv Bators succumb to their addictions, Dee Dee's own girlfriend overdoses, Sid Vicious shoots up with toilet water, and Phil Spector holds the band at gun-point in his Beverly Hills mansion. A gripping story from the now sadly deceased Ramone. Hey! Ho! Lets Go!
The Ramones were one of the first bands responsible for punk - wearing torn jeans, black leather jackets and playing short, loud trashy rock and roll songs. This is Dee Dee Ramone's harrowing tale of 15 years of life on the road with the band. A story both tragic and comic, littered with many of the colourful characters that made up the New York Punk scene. Dee Dee lived the rock and roll lifestyle to the full, wrote the band's best songs and Sid Vicious openly modelled himself on him.
