Toking with the Dead: https://www.stilltoking.com/ ————————————— Follow Still Toking With and their friends! https://smartpa.ge/5zv1 ————————————— Produced by Leo Pond and The Dorkening Podcast Network MORE ABOUT THE GUEST: Richie left the band abruptly in August 1987 after financial conflicts with Johnny Ramone. Richie stated in an interview that he had asked for a small percentage of the merchandise income based on his tenure with the band and their use of his name and image, which he claimed Joey and Dee Dee were in favor of, but Johnny refused.[5] Richie added that he never felt entitled to a large share as he was not a founding member and mentioned feeling left out when the other members would go to cash their merchandise checks while on tour.[5] After leaving the Ramones, Richie remained friends with Dee Dee and worked on some of his solo recordings. He was briefly replaced by Clem Burke of Blondie and The Romantics, before the latter was replaced by Richie's predecessor Marky Ramone. After Joey's passing in 2001, the only Ramones to attend his funeral were Richie, Tommy and C. J. Richie would later express sadness over not being able to reconnect with Joey before his death given their close friendship while in the band.
