Dee Dee on My Mind





June 6, 2002 - Dee Dee passes away just days before he was meant to be recording a live album with Marky Ramone.

June 9, 2002 - Marky Ramone & his latest band the Speedkings go into the studio to record a tribute.

"I've Got Dee Dee on My Mind" is an upbeat celebration complete with samples of Dee Dee counting in "1 2 3 4" with backing vocals from Fifi of the Japanese band Fifi & The Mach III.

On the flipside Marky shares the vocals with Nick Speedking for "Chinese Rocks" co-written by Dee Dee & Marky's old bandleader Richard Hell, originally made (in)famous by their binge buddies The Heartbreakers.
