Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE CRANBERRIES!

This song is so good it hurts. Being Irish it's incredible. It still hits with that same concussive shock the first time you heard this departure song for The Cranberries. Everything works on this track and so let's get right to it, 'Zombie'. One of the ten best videos ever made still after all these years.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE BOOMTOWN RATS!

When you think about it, Billy has a lot of the same annoying attitudes as Johnny. Listen to the words and remember from what you've read here. It's like Johnny spent a lot of time listening, really listening, to Bob Geldof and the Rats when he was young.

Young. Good looking. Kinda Tough. Working on the suit of red.

The Boomtown Rats and the timeless generational rant, 'Rat Trap'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with GRACE POTTER & THE NOCTURNALS!

Boy howdy, you talk about the perfect song to send the Music Series out on, it'd be this one, 'Falling or Flying' by Grace Potter & the Nocturnals. General Johnny is issuing an order to put the headphones on and groove with him musical soldiers of the night, this is a good one.

Ahhhhh, Summertime and Kool-Aid, they go hand in jar.

Jersey City taxpayers again on the hook for Mayor Fulop's miscalculations

The cost to Jersey CIity taxpayers for the loss of the court case against Realty Appraisal just increased by $115,000 because once again the mayor didn't understand how the reval worked or he was simply stalling for no good legal reason in order to protect his donor class downtown.

Hudson County Superior Court Judge Francis B. Schultz had earlier awarded Realty Appraisal almost a million dollars in the original case:

Schultz awarded $984,511 to Realty Appraisal in April when he ruled that Jersey City acted in bad faith when it backed out of a $3.2 million contract the West New York firm was awarded in 2011 to conduct the long-stalled citywide property revaluation. Mayor Steve Fulop halted all work on the reval when he was elected mayor in 2013 and stopped paying the firm.

Do remember this waste of over $100K when the Fulop Administration begs you to move the elections to November from May (When Jersey City gets a say on strictly Jersey City business) so he can lose in the governor's run and still run for mayor again in 2017, you know, change the law for one person. What's that you say? It'll save money according to the mayor's office? Well he just pissed more than the savings away because he's in over his head. That argument stops NOW.
