There is a Gorilla Glue copy-cat! After a woman used Gorilla Glue on her hair (DO NOT do that) and went viral, she spawned a series of copy-cats, including a woman who needed to go to the hospital immediately. (36:39)

Throwback Concert: Ramones at Toad’s Place 1989

Throwback Concert: Ramones at Toad’s Place 1989

99.1 PLR celebrates 50 years! This week we are celebrating another great year in our history: 1989!

Which band played the most shows at Toad’s Place? We’re not exactly sure, but we’re pretty sure The Ramones is right up there! From 1977 to 1996 The Ramones played roughly 23 shows at Toad’s. Some years they played there place more than once. For example, in 1991 they played Toad’s in three times. In the 80’s it was common to see the Ramones twice a year: both in the winter and in the summer.

1989 was one of those years the Ramone’s played twice to Toad’s. The latter show in December turned out to be a historic show for the Ramones. It was the United States concert debut of C.J. Ramone, who replaced original member Dee Dee Ramone in the band. The Ramones came to New Haven in December ’89 to support their eleventh studio album, “Brain Drain,” which they had released that March.

Today we look back at that show….
