Linda Ramone lives in an eccentric museum. The widow of iconic Ramones guitarist Johnny Ramone (who died in 2004 of prostate cancer) is dedicated to preserving her late husband's legacy, and his estate. She still lives in the home they shared in the Valley — a wacky, charmingly garish house filled with things like original posters for Elvis Presley movies and stuffed foxes resting beneath punk memorabilia. And, of course, there's the shrine to Ronald Reagan in the kitchen.
She hosts the 8th annual Johnny Ramone Tribute on Sunday.

What cracks me up about this is if you scroll down to the comments, you'll see their road manager, Monte Melnick, plugging his book. On almost every Ramones related article online, he does this! He must have a Google alert for Ramones articles.
