Legs McNeil: “Just as we were talking to Lou Reed, the Ramones hit the stage and it was an amazing sight. Four really pissed off guys in black leather jackets. It was like the Gestapo had just walked into the room. Then they counted off a song – ‘ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR!’ – and we were hit with this blast of noise. You physically recoiled from the shock of it, like this huge wind, and before I could even get into it, they stopped. Apparently they were all playing a different song. The Ramones had a mini-fight onstage. They were just so thoroughly disgusted with each other that they threw down their guitars and stomped off the stage. It was amazing. It was like actually seeing something come together. Lou Reed was sitting at the table laughing.”
