RIP Arturo Vega
Posted: Sun Jun 09, 2013 7:37 pm
Arturo Vega, Artistic and Lighting Director for the Ramones, and creator of the most iconic logo in RNR history, died yesterday at age 65.
Arturo was with the band from the beginning, and missed only 2 of the bands 2,263 shows, aone when he was in jail for something, and one when he couldn't get into Canada(I think).
He was also immortalized in the song Chinese Rock, where Joey sings "hey hey, is Arty home?" which was changed from when The Heartbreakers recorded it using "is Dee Dee home?"
No news yet on cause of death. Sad, sad day.
RIP Arty!
