This is a Blurring Out with Eric Blair show and we're here at Didi Ramon, a [C#] memorial exhibition
at Shepard Fairey's Subliminal Projects [N] Gallery.
With Barbara Ramon, what is the importance of this Didi Ramon art show tonight?
It's pretty big.
I haven't really seen these paintings for like [D#] 10 years.
I mean, [A]
[F#] these paintings were, they were in Germany and then I was supposed to get them
back, but I just didn't for some reason.
[C] And then finally, with John's help, finally got them [F#] back and now for like [C#m] the first time
in like 10 years, like [E] they're like shown to the world or to [F#] people who [B] care anyway,
you know.
Now, I know that you and Didi collaborated on a lot of, a few pieces of artwork together.
So how [D#] did you, how did that work [G#] out?
Did he would, he do a little bit and then you would come in and do a little [F#] bit or would
you guys sit down [C] together and work on the piece?
Yeah, we [F] will sit down together and work on [F#] it, you know.
He like, first he'll do like, you know, a little drawing of it and then somehow like,
you know, maybe I'll add [F] something or like, you know, I'll talk about it, [Am] whatever.
Somehow like, [F#] it just becomes like a painting, but it's not really like thought or anything,
you know what I mean?
It's not like you're thinking about it for a long time, you know what I mean?
It's just maybe [F] something funny that happened or something that somebody said, you know
what I mean?
And it just became what it is, you know.
I mean, [N] I think a lot of artwork is like that.
A lot of great art is, I think when you think about things too much, it's not, it doesn't really happen.
When you're just kind of [B] doing it and then when you're done, [G#] it's like, whoa, look at [D] this.
It just seems like sometimes, I mean [E] like, you can [D#] think of something and then, you know,
execute it and then have, [D] you know, what you thought.
But it's just like, this [C] way, it seems like, you know, if you think too [B] much, it never
really [F#] ends up being [B] what you first thought.
[F] So it's just kind of like, you just make it [E] as you go.
I don't know, there's also like so many, [A] like, I don't know, he had so many ideas and he
saw so many things through his eyes that to him, I think everything [D] was pretty much art
in the world, you know?
Because I [A#] mean, he did everything.
He [Am] played, he painted, he [A] wrote books.
It's as [C#] artistic as you can get.
[Bm] After not seeing this artwork for so many [F#] years, which piece really stands out to you
now and would you say [A] is maybe your favorite?
[B] Wow, there's [E] a couple.
[G] I like the one [F#] where he, it's blue in the background [F] and he just writes and it's a little
one [F#m] and he [Am] talks about, you know, [F#] what people want and what it is that [A] life is.
And [D#] then I love the one where the guy's eating [G] the soup.
I noticed there's a [F] Sid Vicious one in there.
It's like a collaboration.
Oh, [C#] yeah, the one where like he's on the table with the doctor, [F#m] like [E] chopping him off.
Oh, yeah, that [D] was a series of, [E] that was kind of like a cartoon.
[A] That's one of the squares where like, [B] you know, one of the scenes of what's going on.
And it's about, [E] you know, Sid Vicious [A] getting a [F#] lobotomy and just getting kidnapped by some
doctor and taken to a horror [Dm] hospital [F] and getting [F#] a lobotomy and getting various body
parts chopped off and [E] I don't know, it's fun.
Why do [A] you think that [Em] Didi and the [A] Ramones music has lived [F#] on and on and on?
Well, obviously, [A] because it's wonderful and true and I don't know, it's just like, I don't
know, it's like life, you know, it's just something that has got [B] to be and it can,
