Strange Bedfellows

The iconic punk rock band the Ramones is the inspiration behind an art show and concert at Fashion Island next week.
The exhibition will showcase Ramones artwork and memorabilia from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Nov. 8 at the clothing boutique American Rag Cie at Fashion Island. Visitors can munch on french fries and sip champagne courtesy of Café Beau Soleil at the event. The Hamones, a Ramones cover band, will provide musical entertainment.
The event will launch a new Ramones-themed clothing line by Costa Mesa-based clothing company Hurley. The line of men’s and women’s clothing and eyewear incorporates artwork from Ramones albums, tour photographs and concert posters.

Leather white t's and jeans? Go for it Bob.
Another sick example of marketing an image and not understanding what it meant to people at the time.
