đ¶ Gabba Gabba Hey! And the Night I (Sort of) Saw Ramones
Hello everyone :)!
This post is for all my fellow music loversđ!
My music taste is a little bit of everything. From smooth jazz and blues, to everything made from 50s and 60s, golden era rock ânâ roll, all the way to chaotic punk and energetic K-pop/K-hiphop.
The only genre I really canât stand (sorry not sorry) are cajke. Hard passđ€ąđ€źđ€ź!!!!!

Music has been my only friend in the darkest of days of my existence, when there was no light, no direction.
So when people say âI canât live without _____â, I believe them. Because I absolutely cannot live without music.
My very first connection with music mightâve been through Elvis Presley. I still remember watching Lilo & Stitch as a kid and getting completely enchanted by his voice.
Honestly, I think cartoons and movies introduced me to great music early on, and that stuck with me for life.
âž»
One of the biggest constants in my life has been my love for The Ramones.
And hereâs a spooky/funny coincidence: I was born on the exact date, year, and time that Joey Ramone passed away. I like to joke that maybe Iâm his reincarnation đ . He was always my favorite Ramone anyway .
I also vividly remember hearing âBlitzkrieg Bopâ in a cartoon about a little toaster going on an adventure⊠but turns out that song isnât actually in that film!? So who knows where my brain picked that up, but it clearly made a mark đ.
Little note* I like to collect things from Ramones and I have around 10 t-shirts (not so punk huh..?)
:). Hereâs just a few!
Sadly, since all of the original Ramones have passed, I never got to see them live.
They actually did perform in Zagreb back in the day, but I wasnât even born then..
Or so I thoughtâŠ
âž»
Markyđđ»Ramoneđđ»Blitzkrieg, the band led by the only living Ramone, Marky Ramone himself and guess what? They performed in Zagreb this month!
For those who might not know:
Marky Ramone was the drummer for the Ramones from 1978 to 1983, and then again from 1987 until the bandâs retirement in 1996.
Heâs been keeping the spirit of Ramones alive with his band, touring globally and playing all the hits that defined a generation and continues to do so with the new ones.
When I found out he was coming, I was SO hyped. This was my chance to feel a tiny bit of that Ramones magic live.
The lead singer sounded so much like Joey it was so trippy but cool :). And the guy on his left (in the video) looked a lot like DeeDeeđ!
The king of the drums Marky Ramone himself!!!

Now for the honest part..
Iâm quite short, and if youâve ever been at a crowded show, you know how that goes. Usually I always arrive early at the venue and get to the barricade so I can actually see something but this timeâŠ.
For almost hour and a half, all I could see were peopleâs backs and headsđ...
Itâs a strange kind of heartbreak to finally be there, at a punk concert with a real Ramone, and still feel so⊠far away from it all.
But hey thatâs life. Not every experience is perfect (although Iâm still soooo bittersweet about itđđ). I still hope they come again, and next time Iâll make sure to get a better view (or bring a ladderđ€Łđ ).
âž»
Even with the awful view, the music was pretty solid.
They played 35 songs nonstop, just like Ramones did back in the day. They played Ramones classics, some Motörhead, and even a bit of Chris Montez. A little something for everyone.
Hereâs a clip I recorded at the show (that was the only way to see the concert LMFAOđđđ), featuring the song
âThe KKK Took My Baby Awayâ â one of my favorites :)

Inn the end, punk isnât just a sound, itâs an attitude and itâs not going anywheređđ€đ».
Letâs keep music alive.
Punkâs not dead. đ€đ»đ
Who Are The Leaders of Hive?
Hive, a blockchain born of rebellion against centralization, now stands at a crossroads. Its ethosâdecentralized, community-driven, and freeâis shadowed by a corrosive reality: the unchecked power of entities like @themarkymark and @buildawhale, whose coordinated downvotes and acrimonious tactics have driven creators to despair. This is not governance; it is a tyranny of silence.
The Illusion of Leadership
Hive has no crowned sovereign. Its âleadersâ are stewards: developers refining code, witnesses securing consensus, and communities shaping culture. Yet power, as history teaches, consolidates in vacuums. When accounts with vast Hive Power (HP) weaponize downvotes to stifle dissent, they erode the very democracy Hive was built to protect. This is not leadershipâit is oligarchy masquerading as order.
The Exodus and the Alternative
Creators flee. Talented voices, weary of punitive curation, migrate to platforms like Blurt, where downvotes are absent and dialogue thrives. Blurtâs rise will be no accident; its simplicityâa sanctuary from Hiveâs toxicityâhighlights a fatal flaw in our ecosystem. A single change here could tip the scales. Imagine Blurt embraced by investors, listed on centralized exchanges, and fortified by liquidity. It needs only a catalyst.
A Plea for Unityâand Action
We cannot wait. Each downvoted post is a fracture in Hiveâs foundation. To stem the exodus, we demand:
Bilpcoinâs Pledge
The Bilpcoin team stands with Hive. We will:
The Hour Is Now
Hiveâs promiseâa haven for free expressionâhangs in the balance. Will we cling to infighting, or rise as a community? The tools for change are ours: blockchain transparency, collective will, and the courage to demand better.
Join us. Audit wallets. Question power. Post fearlessly. Together, we can reclaim Hiveâs soulâor watch its light dim as Blurt rises.
The choice is ours. Let it be written in history that we chose wisely.
Hive leadership crisis, decentralized governance reform, Blurt vs Hive, Bilpcoin transparency, blockchain accountability, downvote ethics.
#HiveTransparency #CommunityOverCensorship
@themarkymark @buildawhale & Co
You wield downvotes like a weapon, striking indiscriminately at whoever displeases you, whenever it suits your whim. And why? Why do you call people names as though their humanity is secondary to your ego? Is this how you justify your behaviorâto diminish others so they might seem less worthy of fairness? You claim disdain for AI on Hive, yet your inner circle freely employs it without consequence. No downvotes for them, only for those outside your charmed circle. Tell us, why are you so selective in whom you punish and whom you protect?

@themarkymark & Co.,
We are being completely honest here, and you know it. The transactions donât lieâyou cannot escape this, no matter who you bring in to back you up. It wonât work. Youâve already exposed many of those close to you, so letâs be clear: WE ARE NOT TROLLING YOU. WE ARE SIMPLY SHARING THE TRUTH. And the Bilpcoin team is far from stupid. Calling us names changes nothingâit only fuels our determination to work harder.
ITâS OVER.
SPEAK UP. MAKE NOISE. TAKE A STAND.
Key Issues That Demand Immediate Attention:
The problems are glaring, undeniable, and corrosive to the Hive ecosystem. They must be addressed without delay:
These practices do not just harm individual usersâthey undermine the very foundation of Hive, eroding trust and poisoning the community. Such actions are not only unethical but outright destructive.

The blockchain data tells the story plainly and clearly. We are not fabricating these claims; we are merely presenting what is already visible for all to see. As weâve repeatedly urged @themarkymark & Coâthe solution is simple: STOP.
SO PLEASE STOP. Itâs time to do whatâs right for Hive and its community. Why cling to practices that harm others? Power down, step away, and let Hive thrive as it was meant to. You bring nothing positive to this ecosystem.
THOSE WHO ARE WATCHINGâTHIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU.
PLEASE STOP.
@themarkymark, Can You Explain Why the Bilpcoin Teamâs Accounts Are on Your Blacklist?
@themarkymark We understand youâre a fan of dataâso are we. After all, data is king, and when it comes to blockchain, transactions donât lie and canât be changed.
