Hey Ho, Let's Go! Celebrating 50 Years of the Ramones

Fifty years ago, four kids from Queens changed rock and roll forever. Join us for a full vinyl listen-through of the Ramones' self-titled debut LP, with author and punk historian Liz Worth on hand to put the album in context and guide the conversation. The Ramones' debut is thrilling, influential, and not without controversy — Liz will help us engage with all of it. We'll spin it from start to finish — all 29 blazing minutes of it.
