WE WANNA BE SEDATED: Jampol Artist Management has completed a deal to manage the Ramones, alongside Dave Frey of Silent Partner Management, meaning JAM will oversee the seminal punk rockers’ music, film, name, likeness, merch, licensing and anything else that comes up on a worldwide basis. “Johnny Ramone would have liked things this way,” said Linda Cummings Ramone, Johnny’s widow the executor of his estate. “It's very exciting to have Jeff Jampol, who manages rock legends, on board. He will keep everything authentic. This is truly where the Ramones belong.” The agreement adds another legendary act to Jampol’s roster, which comprises The Doors and the estates of Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Otis Redding, Tupac Shakur, Rick James, Peter Tosh and Henry Mancini; he also serves as a consultant to the estate of Michael Jackson.
