MLPP29 - Monte A. Melnick (Ramones' Tour Manager)

Hey! Ho! we went. We are joined this week by author, rock n roll
logistical master-mind and all round nice chap, Monte A. Melnick.
Tour Manager to the Ramones from their inception to the bitter
end. Is it possible to write and record an album if two key band
members refuse to interact? Could you keep your cool being held
hostage by a gun-toting maniac? Have you ever had to navigate
through a warzone with a bunch of punk rockers in tow? Probably
not, but that’s why Monte was the Ramones’ Tour Manager and you
weren’t. We’ve got all this and more as well as Tom’s
recollection of being woken up by artillery fire whilst on tour,
Niallism’s Friday and Saturday night ritual in the early
noughties and additional tunes from Screw 32 and Geoffery OIcott.
