...Joey moved from drums to lead vocal when he could no longer play at the amphetamine tempos Johnny and Dee Dee were putting down at rehearsals. Manager Tommy took over on the kit when drummer after auditioning drummer failed to understand the stripped-down style he was hearing in his head. When Tommy finally sat down behind the drums, the first Ramones lineup was complete. They found their way to CB's on August 16, 1974. Early sets were chaotic - 20 songs in 17 minutes - but promising enough for Hilly to bring them back 22 more times in '74 alone...
...They did attempt DNA tests on some of the biological evidence from the rape kit, but because of the limited technology available at the time, they weren't able to obtain a genetic profile. And that's what we hope to correct...

The FDA has approved several new tests, including the Home Access HIV Test Kit ($54.95) and the Hepatitis C Check ($69.95), designed to reach a whole market of people who for various reasons don't want to be tested in a doctor's office. A special coding system allows you to send your blood sample to a laboratory anonymously and get the results in a few business days. These tests are controversial, however, because someone who, for example, tests positive for HIV will need immediate medical...
