Hanging out with legends like Jimmy Hendricks, Marky was entrenched in the punk rock social scene. In 1978 Marky\u00a0joined the Ramones and lead singer, Joey, and well, it was history in the making.<\/p>\n<p>There have been many books written on the band, but not from a Ramone, so now was a good time. \u201cThe band member is in the inner circle more than anyone else,\u201d he said. \u201cSo I figured after reading all the other books I wanted to quell some rumors and tell my own story, and how things went through my observation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Famer Marky Ramone: Punk Rock Blitzkrieg\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dwgLI7oupyA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This story includes Joey and his OCD, Marky driving his car into a storefront window, and later during his sobriety becoming a bike messenger after leaving the band in 1983.
