This footage is a little bit of goofing off before my brother Andrew Coffey and I went off to the first Podcast Media Expo in 2005 where he was hosting Podcast Awards. I had always wanted to visit Hollywood Forever an incredible cemetary featuring the likes of many Hollywood legends. I also wanted to pay tribute to Johnny Ramone and Dee Dee Ramone both of whom I’d met and hung out with in 1983 when they passed thru Philly. I sold many of my baseball cards to Johnny, including a Steve Carlton rookie card (good condition). The experience of hanging with Johnny and Dee Dee was well worth the sacrifice. Joey seemed off limits, not as chatty as Johnny or Dee Dee. Ritchie was drumming at this time. Enjoy Videobloggingweek2008 Gabba Gabba Hey!

Great tour! Hollywood’s answer to Père Lachaise. Not sure what we have in the UK? Highgate Cemetery perhaps. Or Kensal Green. Even so, a pauper’s grave for me, I think.
Eddi Vedder and Lisa Marie paid for the statue of Johnny.
Robert, if they put plaques up at Towers of London would that count? I was at Pere Lachaise in 1981 to see Morrison site. Totally trashed and somthing new whenever I see new photos. Thanks for the links, my brother and I can be quite morbid!
wow, I didn’t know Mel Blanc was Jewish.
“That’s All Folks”
Brilliant.
Whoa. Best.Cemetery. Ever!
