Ramones: Acid Eatersby James Greene, Jr. • May 26, 2009 RamonesAcid Eaters(Radioactive, 1993)You can knock the Ramones for a number of things (lying about being brothers, letting Dee Dee quit, inspiring Rancid), but what you can't deny punk rock's most revered foursome is their ability to execute excellent covers. Da Bruddahs, as no one has liked to call them since 1992, were pretty sharp when.

I was born in 1974. Films at the time like Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather Part II, Roman Polanski's Chinatown were big hits at the box office but you also had films like Jack Hill's Blaxploitation film Foxy Brown blasting out onto the screens of Drive ins and Grindhouses.
