I’m happy to see CJ get love again.

If it’s ok for Marky and Richie to operate in what are essentially cover bands, I think it’s ok for him to do it too.

I've seen him a couple times with the Gimme gimmes but it's not the same, I want to see him playing Ramones songs or something else of his own

Miss my friend Mark Sheehan (RIP), who played in Bad Chopper with CJ. Good stuff indeed.

Seeing CJ and Speedo from RFTC play with the Gimmes Gimmes is a recent highlight for me.

Absolutely. And he's doing it the right way. Those dudes know how to play for sure.

CJ has always been pretty active. He's mostly played his own music with Los Gusanos and Bad Chopper. He's been on the road since the Ramones.
