It was early June, 1980. My cousin Gary, his fiancee Maria, some friends and cousins of hers, and I went to Great Adventure to see the Ramones in concert.
To pass the time before the main attraction, we went on some rides.
I was within earshot of Joe Jag, Victor and Vinnie when they started singing Blotto’s “I Wanna Be A Lifeguard”.
A few days after the concert I went to the nearest Sam Goody and got a copy of Blotto’s “Hello My Name Is Blotto. What’s Yours?”
The Ramones were good but that song is still just too much.
Thanks to Ted Strutz for this week’s Photo Prompt and to Rochelle Wisoff~Fields, our fearless leader, for Friday Fictioneers.

‘Judy is a Punk’ – my fave Ramones song! Actually, my mate Judy is a Goth but even she likes the song.

Yeah they were good. It’s too bad they’ve all ~or at least most~died

It sounds like a good time was had by all. I’m not familiar with the singing group, but it sounds like they were great. Well done, Larry. 🙂 — Suzanne

Thanks Suzanne They were big in the late 70’s/early 80’s. I’m pretty sure the Ramones are all dead now. Blotto’s not doing anything I know of lately.. It’s a true story based on a concert I really went to
