DAVID JOHANSEN: I’m terrible. One time, me and Syl were coming out of Performance Studios, and Monte used to have the Ramones there, rehearsing in the back. We were leaving and we saw the Ramones rehearsing, and we said, “Oh, forget it! Give up!” I’m really terrible. I can’t pick ‘em. I also remember telling Chris Frantz, the Talking Heads drummer, “You’re such a nice kid. What do you want to do this for? You don’t stand a chance.” Yeah, I was a real inspiration.
