FROM ROLLING STONE:
AT THE ANNUAL Johnny Ramone tribute Sunday at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, director John Waters hosted a reunion of his cast for the 1990 bad-boy musical Cry-Baby, including a surprise appearance by Johnny Depp.
“Everybody in this movie wanted a little image rehab,” Waters recalled of the wildly eclectic cast during an onstage panel before an outdoor screening of the film, a favorite of the late Ramones guitarist. “Johnny [Depp] was the star of a TV show and said ‘I hate being a teen idol.’ I said, ‘Well, stick with us. We’ll kill that.’ And Traci [Lords] was fleeing the adult world. Patti Hearst – who wants to be a famous victim? . . . If you can make fun of what the critics use against you, then you own it and you turn it into a style.”
The Cry-Baby reunion was part of the ninth annual gathering at the Los Angeles cemetery in honor of Ramone, organized by his widow, Linda. Standing at the park is a life-sized statue of the guitarist leaning into a riff, not far from where bassist Dee Dee Ramone is buried. As fans lined up for autographs from some famous guests, backstage was a gathering of friends of Johnny and Linda Ramone, including artist Shepard Fairey, burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese and Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones, who said, “It wouldn’t be right if I didn’t show up.”
