1/3 This melting-with-you stuff was no metaphor. The last thing @M0DERNENGLISH wanted to do, singer Robbie Gray said, was compose another song where "boy meets girl, they go to the cinema and make love, and that's the end of it." So, they nuked everything. rb.gy/2iojn

2/3 The results took forever to catch on: "I Melt With You" was initially released in May 1982, but didn't peak on the U.S. rock and dance charts until almost a year later. (Credit in part goes to its appearance in the contemporary teen pic 'Valley Girl.')

2/2 "I make my own rules they don't teach in school," Jett reminds, "and that's what I live by." Guitarist Dougie Needles provides a perfect, prickly counterpoint, but make no mistake: Jett is centerstage. Long may she roar. youtube.com/watch?v=Tqlo_K_n…

Johnny Ramone, Hollywood Palladium, July 8, 1988.
FUN FACT: When the #Ramones were on tour, you could buy a pick at the merch booth for $1.

Their shared history was formed in a crucible of loss, as singer Ian Curtis' suicide left his former @JoyDivision bandmates to carry on with @NewOrder. Here's why they both should be inducted into the @RockHall:

Patti Smith Remembers Tom Verlaine newyorker.com/magazine/2023/… via @NewYorker
1/3 In an age of minimalism, of celebrating short, sharp shocks and (let's face it) musical innocence, #TomVerlaine played guitar like the rock stars of old. Except he didn't. The solos were long, they searched and squealed, and they knew no bounds.
2/3 No other major figure in the punk / post-punk scene modeled such old-school behavior. But the difference – the "friction," if you will – was the way Verlaine approached the guitar.
