...shelter, and this morning the church ladies are dishing up a free hot meal in the auditorium. "When we realized there were no rooms at the motel and bad weather in all directions,"recalls Church Mem ber Russell Thrift, "we told the boy down at the gas station to let folks know they could stay at the church. We did the same thing last year. Every time this happens, when folks are gone we find checks here and there, tucked into the pulpit or the music stand."

The song doesn't quite work; one can't take too seriously any of the Ramones saying anything like "I don't love you anymore/What do you want to talk to me for/You should have let me walk by/Memories make me cry." But still it's a nice, actually mellow song that proves the Ramones might even be able to make it in the mainstream if they wanted...
