The Ramones Reunite?

I dreamed I was at a Ramones reunion concert. Filling in for the dead Ramones were Brave Combo's Carl Finch and ex-BC drummer Mitch Marine. I think Finch played a Farfisa organ, and it wasn't a bad combination with the Ramones' three-chord romps.

I also dreamed some famous actress was hugging me, and I got her name wrong. I think it was Glenn Close, and I made her angry by calling her "Ms. Streep."

So Mitch Marine, a drummer, was filling in for the one position for which all of its participants (Marky Ramone, Richie Ramone, Tommy Ramone ne Erdelyi) are still alive?

Putting Carl Finch in the mix is a stroke of genius, however.

I had a dream a few weeks ago in which my co-worker Ed Martinez (a fine guitarist in real life) and I were hired to play "backup" guitar, offstage, for a reunited INXS. We were playing behind the audience in what looked like a school auditorium. No one seemed to think it odd that Michael Hutchence had come back from the dead for this. I guess the lure of big money on a reunion tour crosses beyond the pale.

I started to touch on that, then decided I'd leave it open and see if you would... Yeah, Marine was a second drummer, actually. Not sure which "Ramone" was behind their kit.
