Los Angeles – The Johnny Ramone Tribute 2016 event, set for July 24 at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, will feature screenings of two classic punk rock films and a panel discussion about those movies led by two classic L.A. punk rockers, organizers said.
Former Black Flag frontman Henry Rollins and X bassist-singer-songwriter John Doe are scheduled to engage in an exploration of 1979’s “Rock ‘n’ Roll High School” with cast members Mary Woronov, Clint Howard, Vince Van Patten and P.J. Soles as well as producer Roger Corman.
They’ll also discuss the evening’s second screening, “Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains,” directed by Lou Adler.
Sex Pistols guitarist and radio host Steve Jones is set to host the event, organized by Ramone’s widow, Linda Ramone, as an annual salute to her husband, the lead guitarist of the punk band the Ramones who died of prostate cancer in 2004 at age 55.
