 | | Jun 6, 2002, 2:00 PM PT Dee Dee Ramone, a founding member of Hall of Fame punk pioneers the Ramones, was found dead Wednesday night in his Hollywood home, the victim of an apparent drug overdose. |
 | | Dee Dee, who wrote such signature Ramones tunes as "Chinese Rock" with fellow punk icon Johnny Thunders (who died of a drug overdose), eventually split from the band after the release of 1989's Brain Drain to become--of all things--a rapper. |
 | | While Dee Dee and the Ramones recorded such classics as "I Wanna Be Sedated," "Teenage Lobotomy," "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue" and "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker," the band never scored a Top 40 hit. |
