Re: (TV) OT: Killer Kane, RIP

Joey did have (Non?) Hodgkinson Lymphoma (excuse my probable inability to spell), he knew about it since 96 or so, but was recovering until he slipped and fell on his apartment steps - here is a guy who now has a street named after him, and no-one came up and helped him, he had to use his cellphone to get help
his body never recovered and he died listening to a U2 song (the cruel bastards, that would finish me off as well)
Johnny Ramone also has cancer, but at the moment is said to be recovering (mind you they said that about Joey before he died as well) - http://website.lineone.net/~murrayramone/markystatement.htm
Johnny Thunders also had lukemia, but I think it was only diagnosed posthumously - according to his sister the new orleans police have lost half his autopsy papers and there is a question mark over whether he od'd or whether he was just trying to medicate the pain thinking it was severe withdrawal and the police came and said 'another dead junkie, must be an OD' 

I've a theory that it was the cbgb's chili
The last I heard about Arthur was he had basically no income (he was caretaking a church in exchange for somewhere to stay) so I'd very much doubt he had any healthcare on the go
on a further off topic Ramones note - If anyone likes the Ramones live album "It's alive" - good news, the film footage of the gig has been uncovered and its as the absolute business, wish I'd been there but 400 miles was a bit far to travel for a ten year old, some blurb and stills are up on the webshite here - http://website.lineone.net/~murrayramone/ItsAlive.htm

that is bizarre and horrible.  it may be he really did
not have easy access to health care.  and then there
are folks who simply chose to not visit doctors (i.e.
warren zevon).  anyway, very sad.

re (phil) joey ramone (with lymphoma), that very often
goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, i think because the
symptoms are sort of vague (not that they're not
really bothersome).  but i believe joey had known of
his disease and was being treated for many years
before he died.

murray would know more...

also, what happened to jerry nolan?  was it an
overdose?
