Sorry no post today, Johnny had to drive to Tennessee and buy all the fireworks that would fit in his car for the 24 hour orgy of explosives starting, well, NOW!

Time for Jersey City, After Dark

The city of Jersey City has utterly insulted and failed the Monopoly artist

You've no doubt heard the invented faux outrage at certain parts of the Monopoly styled art piece on Newark Ave. The police, professional groups who exist to bring up faux outrage, and the city have all decided they needed a say in someone else's artwork. The reactions by the police was all too predictable, the professionally outraged need to ask why they immediately see shade where they should be learning about the artists intent, not that it even mattered in this case, or ever does with groups like this one. Their own publicity is something they always manage to see in a good light. Invent an outrage du jour and get your name out there.

The city was the worst of the snivelers, you have to go read this fine analysis of the outrage every Jersey City resident should heve at Mayor Fulop and his gutless and ham-handed administration. Tris McCall wrote this so Johnny didn't have to and did a better job of exposing just how pathetic the city's response was and how narrow the group complaining about the artist's self image in the 'In Jail' corner square as he said it is indeed a part of his life and he wanted to insert himself into the mural. The horror.

Go read, Dan Levin also pointed out on Twitter how the city insisted on an advertisement in the mural, despite the artist's wishes. The Fulop Administration has now managed to screw up even the mural program.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with WANDA JACKSON!

If you're going to kick off a 3-day Fourth of July weekend you're gonna do it right. The song will have to sound great around a BBQ, a pool, a lake, a baseball game, you name it, it's gotta be aces. To that end we're even throwing in a fourth song tonight in honor of the Fourth of July!

First though, a real party starter, heck it's almost the name of the song; Wanda Jackson with 'Let's Have a Party'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with JEFFERSON AIRPLANE!

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.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE CARS!

Johnny asked himself, would this song sound good around a BBQ or a campfire roasting marshmallows for America.? Hell yes was the quick reply. from the peanut gallery that is his brain. The Cars and 'Double Life' from 1979.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with WILD CHERRY!

What's this? A fourth song on the Music Series? You flatter us Johnny (He tries)!

Look, it's 4th of July weekend and if that doesn't merit a Johnny discretionary fourth song than when DOES it happen?

See ya at the BBQ's, fireworks, and getting you out the door tonight with 'Play That Funky Music (White Boy)'

One wonders where the earliest a cheeseburger can be ordered if say a man were taking a day off and wanted a big cheeseburger for breakfast. A man will check and see.

If you're heading to the shore this weekend listen good

Yeah, Johnny's pretty much checked out into weekend mode as he's actually taking a day off for a four-day weekend but if you're lucky enough to be heading down to the Jersey Shore in Atlantic and or Monmouth counties there have been some disturbing shark sightings over the last few days. Great white shark disturbing.

Enjoy the weekend but do be careful.
