  That's fantastic. The 'tators are decades behind being getting the acknowledgement they are due.

  Personally, I like the Dictators' cover of "California Sun" better than the Ramones' cover of "California Sun." It's also one of my favorite songs to watch the Garage Girls a Go Go dance to, along with "Pull Shapes" by the Pipettes.

  i'm tellin ya, a lot of the guys and gals on today's advertising boards are probably those who always loved this music. Even though it wasn't the Real Kids but a bunch of studio musicians, I still thought it was cool when I heard All Kindsa Girls on commercial TV.

  The show is actually called "When Giants Walked the Earth: A Musical Memoir." In it, Andy refers to himself as the Christopher Columbus of Punk Rock and tells true stories of being at the beginnings of punk rock in America and the UK. It's about a 2 hour affair, with classic Dictators songs played acoustically interspersed with tales of The Ramones, The Dictators and the early punk rock scene in NYC....it's hilarious, enchanting, scary and sad all at the same time...and a treat for the whole family as the younguns should hear these tales. Here's a link to The Andy Shernoff Appreciation Society on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Andy-Shernoff-Appreciation-Society/111480742209768?ref=mf#!/pages/Andy-Shernoff-Appreciation-Society/111480742209768?v=wall&ref=mf A couple of the dates are listed as facebook events there...I can't seem to find one site that lists all of the shows, but check out the facebook link as he may be coming to your area sometime soon. Below is a picture of Andy at Call The Office in London Ontario Canada....6/11/2010....We have the 'special honour' of being the smallest crowd that Andy has ever performed for....and we are ashamed.
