029 - 'Adios Amigos' Side B Deep Dive

Hey kids!

Welcome back for Side B of our Adios Amigos Deep Dive. If Side A was the beginning of the goodbye, this is where things get really personal.

We dig deep into the final stretch of the Ramones’ last studio album, where the deep cuts hit harder, the memories run deeper, and the farewells start revealing themselves for the first—and, indeed, last—time, from ‘Cretin Family’ to CJ’s own ‘Scattergun’ and ‘I Got a Lot to Say’.

Then come the heavy hitters: Joey’s hauntingly beautiful ‘She Talks to Rainbows’ and Dee Dee’s astonishing ‘Born to Die in Berlin’—a song that CJ considers one of the most poetic closing statements in rock ‘n’ roll history. Looking back on the Ramones’ journey, from ‘Blitzkrieg Bop’ to ‘Born to Die in Berlin’, the connections start to feel almost too perfect to be a coincidence.

Our Series One Deep Dive journey ends here…

We’ll be taking a short break until the new year after next week's episode. But rest assured we’ll be back in 2027, bigger and better than ever. We’ll also continue to release weekly bonus episodes over on Patreon during our short little hiatus from the main show, so be sure to come over there and say hello if you’re in need of a CJ Says fix over the next couple of months.
