Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with QUEEN!

Counting tonight only four Music Series' left here at the old Jersey City Desk. After that you'll have to click on an entirely different link and we all know how difficult that can be. Starting tonight until the end, just some of Johnny's fave-o-rite music starting with Queen and 'Somebody to Love'

Somebody should really do a movie about this band, it would be a big hit.

So, song three tonight and here comes your out the door earworm, something nice from Freddie and the boys, 'Somebody to Love'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with JEFFERSON AIRPLANE!

Ya know, every time Johnny uses the word hippie on the Jersey City Desk he gets a scolding email or two and catches shit for it. They remind him of their contribution to the culture and music. Sooooo, ok, here's some Jefferson Airplane and the classic and always welcome 'Someone to Love' and Johnny's not just leaving this here as some kind of bait for hippies to get lured here for a great tune and take offense at the word hippie because bait piles are not allowed by the state.

Eric Cartman would have a hard time being a blogger.

Hippies, they wanna save the earth but all they do is smoke pot and smell bad...

It is said if you stare into the image in the video, and you're a hippie, you can see the treasure map to the lost treasure of Wavy Gravy. One can only imagine what hippie treasure would amount to, some patchouli smelling, well, everything, a few roach clips with feathers on them, dreamcatchers, some really bad clothing that might make you ask "who shot the drapes" and old homemade granola bars. But the hippies did make some great music, like this one, 'Somebody to Love' by the Jefferson Airplane that while it doesn't make up for the other stuff hippies did, still would sound great at any 4th of July event.

We were sad to see Jefferson Airplane drummer Joey Covington passed away in a car accident a couple days ago in California. We're losing so many of the good ones. Here's Jefferson Airplane with 'Somebody to Love' from 1970.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with QUEEN!

Johnny's absolute favorite Queen song to kick off the music series this week (It's good to be da king), 'Somebody to Love'. Sure, there are at least a dozen great Queen songs but favorite? Yeah, this.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with QUEEN!

What a powerhouse band this was. Kids, if you're tuning in and you don't have any Queen in your music catalog or you ONLY have 'Bohemian Rhapsody', do yourselves a favor and GET SOME MORE MUSIC BY QUEEN. Goodness gracious, one of the most theatrical and envelope pushing bands ever and with a lead singer in Freddie Mercury who, and lets face facts, was born to be the frontman of Queen. This is good stuff.
