The Ramones “California Sun”

You know, when the character “Fonzie” was introduced on the TV Show “Happy Days” the network would only allow him to be seen in a leather jacket if he was near his motorcycle, because the leather jacket made him look like a dangerous character.

The same year “Happy Days” debuted, four guys in their black leather jackets formed a band, and became the progenitors of that most dangerous, rebellious music form, Punk Rock.

What was dangerous yesterday, is positively quaint today.

Could “California Sun” be any more the antithesis of dangerous?

Hear The Ramones “California Sun”

See them perform it live, here.

And also, see an amazing Fonzie Motorcycle toy commercial, here.
