A couple of years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Bruce Campbell. No, it wasn’t any sort of great story or anything, I merely stood in line for two hours to have him sign my copy of his autobiography If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B-Movie Actor and then had a friend snap a picture of us so I could show it off to my coworkers…

I grew up a Ramones fan. Since I discovered them in my early teen years, a good decade or so after their prime, they’ve kind of been a staple in my collection.
