Johnny Cash ( Walk the Line) or James Brown ( Get On Up) get the silver screen treatment because of what they accomplished. But I know that Iâm getting older because bands and musicians I grew up on are starting to get the film treatment, and I feel relatively protective of what happens to these stories. But the news that Pete Davidson of Saturday Night Live and Judd Apatowâs The King of Staten Island is going to play the late Joey Ramone in a Netflix biopic brings me peace, and has me psyched.
