The euro-tunes blasting from the DJ booth were wretched. This was inside the Princeton class of 1984's 25th reunion tent on the campus. The songs made me remember why I hated the soulless, powerless and emotionless techno-boing boing music of that era. How I turned to 1960s rock for something that sounded real.
Suddenly clean, simple guitar chords cut through everything else, and the Ramones started singing "I Wanna Be Sedated." I was immediately brought back to the thrill of first hearing this song back in high school, it's three-chord power, drive, and joy. I even started dancing on my still half-broken ankle. So did everyone else.
Just like then, the Ramones rocked.
