Dangerous Minds put this up yesterday, and it’s great. It’s a 1983 episode of some wretched, low-budget cable TV show from Eugene, Oregon. While it’s enjoyable enough to watch for its dated production values and awkward banter, there’s a solid interview with Jonny and Dee Dee Ramone. The two come off great, while both interviewers just look like airheads. A time capsule of punk spirit butting up against the rest of the world. Just watch.
