Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with ROBERT PLANT & THE BAND OF JOY!

Johnny, a spiritual on the last night even if reimagined in such a hip way? Oh you know it, sinner. It's the music that Johnny loves. This is incredible. Plus it's one more chance to fit Patty Griffin into a Music Series and stick a finger in the eye of the person who said via email twice Johnny played her music too much.

Like that could happen.

One.Last.Song. Jersey City, you'll have to click all the way in Oscoda to get the next one in a few weeks. Radio Free Iosco (County) we'll call it. "Move Up' taking us out one last time.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with PATTY GRIFFIN!

Johnny has seen the great Patty Griffin as many times as he's seen anybody. She recently went through the area but nowhere close enough for Johnny to make the show. How about a little tent revival music tonight that is actually going to reach into your soul and get your feet moving before you skedaddle out into this good evening.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with ROBERT PLANT, PATTY GRIFFIN AND BUDDY MILLER!

Johnny caught this show, Live from the Artist Den on Palladia the other night and thought it was amazing. Robert Plant out front mostly singing with Buddy Miller and Patty Griffin playing (and in some cases singing) alongside. Tonight Johnny's got THE best version of the Led Zeppelin classic 'Ramble On' you're ever gonna hear. Sit back, put the headphones on and do enjoy.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with PATTY GRIFFIN!

It's always a great Music Series when you can add some Patty Griffin. Johnny has seen her perform at least five times live and eagerly awaits a chance for a sixth. One of the true greats. 'One Big Love' getting us started tonight. Johnny and his love of redheads strikes again.

Get your Kodak Instamatics ready tonight and head to the river

One of those wonderful moments for photography enthusiasts. In honor of Fashion's Night Out in New York City, the Empire State Building will be lit up completely red. While not uncommon to be seen in conjunction with other colors, straight red is a rare sight indeed.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with PATTY GRIFFIN!

We put a wrap on songs about labor with this gem from Patty Griffin, 'Making Pies'

Big gem

Very fitting music on a soak-a-licious Tuesday morning

Patty Griffin with 'Rain'

Oh hell, Johnny's just gonna make this a Music-A-Palooza Friday

This will encompass our Friday night Multimedia Extravaganza and much more today. Look, we all know what today is, let's not avoid the 800 pound gorilla in the corner, but let's listen to some awesome music instead of dwelling on the past. Maybe in some way the music can help you make sense of the senseless.

We'll start with Patty Griffin and the baleful and haunting song 'Making Pies'. Good stuff to be certain.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with PATTY GRIFFIN!

Well OK, if we had a Letterman clip we'll have a Conan clip. Here is the incredible Patty Griffin from 1999 on Late Night with one of Johnny's favorite Patty Griffin numbers 'Blue Sky'. Flaming Red, the album this song is on should be in your collection, if it's not, you have something to do tonight. Johnny has been lucky enough to see Patty (She asked Johnny to call her by her first name--what, it could happen. Johnny Action Space Punk--friend to the stars) twice and if you're ever able to do it, cough up a few bucks for the ticket, you'll be so glad you did. She's not to be missed.

Red border for Flaming Red, get it? You're lucky Johnny's in tonight, Zoltron wanted a Pablo Cruise video...
