This is a HUGE deal for me guys. I got to sit down with one of my favorite bass players from one of my favorite bands ever. In this first part we discussed CJ's relationship with his fans , how he joined the Marines and ended up auditioning for Ramones, his full circle moment sitting on the plane with the band on his first tour, the dynamics of the band when he joined and his relationship with the band members. CJ was cool enough to do a Part 2 which will come out in the next couple weeks so lookout for that ! I could've asked him a million questions and talked for hours and luckily CJ was a sweetheart of a guy and so open to talking to me about his life and time with Ramones. I couldn't be more grateful to him for taking time out of his day to talk to some random 25 year old kid from the East Coast. Instagram - @cjramone Instagram - @consciouscouchshow
