Joey Ramone's image, voice, and tenure as frontman of the Ramones made him a countercultural icon. ==Early life== Joey Ramone was born Jeffrey Ross Hyman to Noel Hyman and his wife Charlotte (née Mandell),.〔 〕 The family lived in lived in Forest Hills, Queens New York〔 〕 where Hyman and his future Ramones bandmates attended Forest Hills High School. Though happy, Hyman was something of an outcast, diagnosed at 18 with obsessive–compulsive disorder. He grew up with his brother Mickey Leigh. His mother, Charlotte Lesher, divorced her first husband, Noel Hyman. She married a second time but was later widowed by a car accident while she was on vacation. Hyman was a fan of The Beatles,〔 〕 The Who, David Bowie, and The Stooges among other bands, particularly oldies and the Phil Spector-produced "girl groups". His idol was Pete Townshend of The Who, with whom he shared a birthday. Hyman took up the drums at 13, and played them throughout his teen years. Before he joined the Ramones, he was the singer in a band known as Sniper (see below). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joey Ramone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
