The Ramones released their debut self-titled album 50 years ago today. Craig Leon, who produced the album, and John Holmstrom, founding editor of Punk Magazine and illustrator for some of the band's album covers, discuss the impact of the album and the band, and listeners call in to share their reflections. Leon and Holmstrom will participate in an anniversary celebration Thursday evening organized by the Joey Ramone Foundation.
