Joey Ramone and Allen Ginsberg, 1992 – Photograph by Lynn Goldsmith

We’ve already recounted his engagement with the more intellectual wing with Joe Strummer and The Clash), but let’s not forget – how could we ever? – Joey
This space looked so lonesome I thought I needed to post a comment even though I can't think of anything to say.
The photo of two men who forever changed my conception of art … and that of future generations. Just great portrait
