A Jersey City Desk tradition on a night all about them; Ladies and gentlemen, The Rolling Stones!

While the evil fuckers at YouTube have yanked the live video we still have the audio, the best version of the best song ever. Johnny says that ever year and thus far nobody has ever come out with a song to change his mind. You're up 2018.

See you on the other side after everyone enjoys the big moment.

Warming New Jersey hearts on a frigid New Year's Eve

'She's the One' sounding good on a Sunday afternoon.

Kicking off another Rocking and Rolling New Year's Eve with Chuck Berry

The one, the only, the storytelling master. Of all days how about one about dancing and keeping an eye on the clock. Let's get this show going. 'Reelin' & Rockin' from Chuck Berry who we sadly lost this year. No, he died, they know where he is.

You do not want to miss New Year's Eve at the Jersey City Desk

An all day music blowout full of fun and frolic. We'll set the mood and keep your toes tapping.

Last call before 2017, the best band with the best version of the best song evah

Tradition holds once again that what Johnny considers the best version of his favorite song by his favorite band plays out the departing year. We do it this way every year and nobody's complained yet.

Ladies and Gentlemen the Rolling Stones and 'Gimme Shelter'

Go away 2016, Johnny doesn't wanna see you around here anymore. He'll kick your ass.

Getting closer to the big moment

Make sure to get your tax deductible donations in before midnight if you can kids, to that end to remind you here's a legendary artist we lost this year, David Bowie with a pretty good indicator of who got Johnny's donations, animal charities and action committees so here's 'Cat People (Putting Out Fire) getting you ready for the NEXT video and last call before 2017...

Pretty women out walking with gorillas down Johnny's street

Joe Jackson and the timeless, 'Is She Really Going Out With Him?'

Before you head out for last minute party supplies

Let Johnny and the Jackson 5 put some pep in your step. 'I Want You Back' is just the ticket.

Coming up on lunchtime, Johnny's got you covered like a lunch lady's hairnet

Lunchie munchie with Blondie and the aptly named 'Eat to the Beat'

An actual email request for this one!

Johnny has long said this blog is your as much as his if you have good ideas. Well friends Johnny was checking the emails and we actually got a REQUEST for this one. Sure it's a great song, a Johnny fave, but we're not sure if it was a dare of this has New Year's Eve party time written all over it.

Frank Zappa and 'Crew Slut' (On original vinyl)

Let's keep the tempo going with The Kingbees!

Sure, we're heading towards 2017 at breakneck speed, let's slow that down and enjoy one from way back in 1979, charted, barely in 1980 but still sounds good on a Jersey City New Year's Rocking Eve today! The Kingbees and 'My Mistake'

Kicking off another Jersey City New Year's Rocking Eve with Stereo MC's!

Let's get 'Connected' together this morning shall we?

So Jersey City, what are your New Year's Eve plans?

24 hours from now everyone will be out and about or in for the evening, perhaps at a party or two or three. Maybe you're going to a bar to see a favorite band, let us know. Johnny wants to hear where you're off to to ring in 2017. Times Square? House party? Drinks at a favorite hangout? Let us know in comments.

Quick note: No Music Series tonight

Since tomorrow is our all-day musical dance party blow-out, we're going to save the music for then. If New Year's Eve were Monday or Tuesday we'd have a Music Series BUT since it's tomorrow....

Get out on that dance floor my roaring cats and kittens...

...and 'Let it Whip' and be all Dazz Band with that smart cocktail in your hand. Remember, what goes down if it goes wrong comes back at that speed times two.

Bringing in some of that Detroit sound

Johnny wants a sound of back home and the Detroit music wheel stopped on the White Stripes and 'Fell in Love With a Girl'

Kicking off New Year's Rockin' Eve Jersey City Desk style with a Midnight Rendzvous

And tonight aren't we all looking for a Midnight Rendezvous? The Baby's with the honors of going first this year.

Get those requests in for tomorrow's all-day music marathon

As all the regular crowd knows tomorrow in an unabashed tribute to great music. It's music all day long leading up to midnight and here's where the regulars have an advantage, they know the last song before 2016. If you don't know well then you'll have to tune in.

One does not host a proper New Year's Eve party without proper reggae music

And to that end dear friends we give you The Lions and 'Ethio-Steppers'. Smoke 'em if ya got 'em...

OK Bon Jovi fans, this one's for you

Twelve hours and some change out from the big moment we're gonna keep the energy up today with New Jersey's own and a pretty cool video to boot.

They should just put a giant Jon Bon Jovi head on top of the Prudential Center shouldn't they? It could light up and spin and music could pump out of it and on game nights when the Devils score sparks would shoot out of his eyes.

Johnny's clearly an idea man. Bon Jovi and 'It's My Life'
