The Resistance

Here’s Joey Ramone and Joyce in The Resistance back in 1992.

In the Summer of 1990 JoLeigh toured with Jerry Harrison and the Casual Gods on a double bill with the Ramones. During the tour she became really good friends with Joey Ramone, and when they returned to New York, she sang with him for a while as a part of his side group The Resistance.

The Resistance was all about keeping the doors open on self expression and being able to keep dissent alive in a healthy democracy, something we always want to keep alive and well.

Robin Rothman helped Joey with word changes for John Lennon’s ‘Gimme Some Truth’. Robin was a long time friend to Joey, she lived across the hall in apartment 10M where musicians from all over would come and hang out.
