Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE ROLLING STONES!

Look quick boys and girls, this is 1972 and that's Mick Taylor on guitar and this would be that fabulously creative and tight era with Mr. Taylor alongside Keef.

Ladies and Jellyspoons, some more of that good time, good feeling music with the aptly named 'Happy' putting the wraps on the Music Series for another week.

Are we good here?

If your idea of making things right is becoming a sniper and murdering police officers then you're pretty fucked in the head and if it had to happen in any state, trust Johnny, Texas will make your life miserable until your pathetic and unremarkable end comes. If you think shooting cops is OK, just go crawl off and die, you're already a waste of a human life.

If you're a cop somewhere who is too fucking scared of African Americans and other minorities that you're that hair-triggered at all times when dealing with minorities, fuck you, go find another job. You're not a good cop put in a bad situation, you're a danger to the community paying your dumb ass. If you think beating and choking and abusing minorities is your best first move because the police union and local prosecutor will have your back, fuck you, you're a disgrace to the badge.

Are we good here?

No respect, no respect at all you know?

Rodney Dangerfield would have appreciated Johnny's life tonight. Watching a show on black holes Johnny tried to explain to his wife that gravity in black holes can bend light and even change time. She asked how that was possible. Johnny explained to her suppose two people are born on the exact same day at the exact same time on the 50th floor of the World Trade Center. That day one goes to live at the top of the building and the other goes to live at the bottom. Should they die at the exact same time on the same day the person who lived on the ground floor their entire life would be milliseconds younger than the one who lived their life in the penthouse.

Why? Gravity slows time closer to said gravity.

She told him he had an empty Diet Snapple box that needed to go out to recycling.

No respect at all...

It's 12:45 in downtown Jersey City and it's a steamy 79ยบ out there. Only one song can fit the mood out there right now; Lovin' Spoonful and 'Summer in the City'

Summer's here (with a vengeance!)

Mid 90's today kids with a heat index into the 100's. Same for tomorrow and Friday. Let's take care to look in on those most vulnerable during this heat wave. If you have any at-risk seniors in your life PLEASE let them know about community cooling centers and the like. Fans can do a lot but sometimes more help is necessary for a few days. Also, please take care of any animals you can help in this heat. Lots of water for your outdoor pets and please consider bringing them inside. Johnny goes around at night sometimes in his neighborhood putting out big metal water dishes for stray animals on these super hot days. We're not saying you have to do the same thing but let's be conscious of our animal friends shall we?

Every so often Johnny has to go all Ser Gregor Clegane on someone and tonight before bed it's Direct TV.

So, Direct TV, what the FUCK? Johnny used to like Jon Bon Jovi, then you started running those ads every three out of five slots during every break at the Copa America and Euros 2016. That had risen to the level of really annoying. Now you've got Bon Jovi signing about dead fucking grandpas you wish you could turn the hands of time back to say goodbye to? WTF is that? Yeah, I was missing my grandpa today and it really emphasized how much I hate Comcast. In olden times Johnny would just have the people who wrote the ad brought before him and tortured while he played Angry Birds on his iPhone but that's not how we do things now. Now you have to point out online that even if Direct TV was Johnny's last pay television option he'd go buy some of those bunny ears and get regular teevee. What the hell is wrong with you people?

Somewhere a gangster is missing his machine gun case

Johnny does wonder sometimes how things wind up where they do.

Happy Independence Day!

America should give free lesson on how to declare independence from England after this year's Brexit stupidity. Happy Independence Day to us and hopefully it spreads to whomever wants democracy (or some de-facto form therein)!
