The Amtrak tear down and rebuild of many tracks and supporting material began in earnest today and commuters were faced with new, convoluted and in many cases baffling changes to their daily commute into and out of NYC and the surround. Many experts and teevee pundits are convinced the end is nigh and this will be nothing but daily misery.
Johnny begs to differ.
People will find their new routes and it'll become old hand as others find theirs. Sooner rather than later people will settle back into routines and trouble spots will present themselves soon. Those can be addressed and or worked around. When I-96/I-275/M-14 in the Detroit area was closed off, which is closing off an entire heart valve to and from Detroit's west siiiiiide, people adapted and experts were surprised how quickly the doom of Old Valyria that was predicted faded away. Johnny thinks the same will happen here.

It sounds like a broken record, it does
But this is our tax money being spent and perhaps some untoward ways. It's not like government boards and the Kushner Cos. have any kind of credibility they get to start out drawing upon. The Monmouth Mall is the issue at hand and just how deals to get it to Kushner Cos. seemingly so easily are what is on trial. It's really a case right now of a local board claiming they did everything about the sale in an aboveboard manner while a lot of the constituents loudly disagree.
Oh that Kushner name, it's just toxic in North Jersey anymore.

Late night open thread
"The Sistine Chapel
Painted with a Gatling gun"
Johnny had to order a new iPod tonight and he'd never had anything engraved ever and since it was free why not use a great line from a favorite song, Neko Case's 'Polar Nettles' and one up the Brady Bunch's Silver Platters.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with JUNIOR BROWN!
If you're anything like Johnny you love some great guitar and you love playing along on whatever imaginary guitar you have at the time. Get your slide guitar out of your head for this one and ready, steady, go, its Junior Brown after all.
That 'Highway Patrol' is gonna get ya, leadfoot.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with WANDA JACKSON!
Ever since the late 1950's Americans have enjoyed listening to the legendary Wanda Jackson was they drove down our highways and byways. As Johnny prepares for another road trip back to Michigan in another week or so it shall be true again. Wanda Jackson in some form shall grace Johnny's driving playlist. While it may not be this Rockabilly standard, 'Slippin' and Slidin,' it will sound so choice out there somewhere wherever somewhere is.
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with SHAGGY!
A request Music Series fans, an actually request made via the emails to Johnny. Here you go ______________, and yes this IS the Shaggy song they use with the little pig on a leash in whatever teevee ad that is.
See that kids, ask and you will most likely receive. Shaggy and 'Mr. Boombastic' sending you out the door tonight.
