As the Beatles are to Liverpool and Bruce Springsteen to Asbury Park, N.J., so are the Ramones to Queens, the polyglot New York borough that nurtured John William Cummings, Thomas Erdelyi, Douglas Glenn Colvin and Jeffrey Ross Hyman — otherwise known as Johnny, Tommy, Dee Dee and Joey Ramone, pioneers of the two-minute poppy punk song.
