The Ramones guitarist, who has been living with prostate cancer for the past several years, was recently admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles with what his physician, Dr. David Agus, told MTV News was a "complication from the cancer. But he got through it, and he's now on a new, experimental therapy. He's fighting courageously, and I think he will be going home in the near term." Johnny's admission to Cedars-Sinai set off a nationwide  maybe worldwide  media death watch. He was said to be in an intensive-care unit, and very near the end. Characteristically, the 55-year-old guitarist, a stubbornly private man, refused to issue a corrective press statement. His wife, Linda, however, was appalled by the funereal headlines, and authorized Dr. Agus to explain Johnny's condition. "He's not dying," Linda said on Wednesday afternoon (June 16). "He was okay for years, and he's fine now. He's in the hospital, but he's not in ICU. And I think he may be leaving by tomorrow."

Apparently their albums are all imports, all pricey, and I can find no sound samples up online. I've only heard one song, "Broadcast", which is on a frickin' $50 Japanese import as a bonus song, and I love that song, but I have no idea if it's representative of the band's sound. If it is, I'd sure be game to buy one of the less expensive records, but I don't want to shell out without knowing what I'm getting into.
