Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE MOODY BLUES!

Good for the soul every so often, a Moody Blues song, especially one asking the right questions, making the right points and with lyrics that work perfectly even today. What a song.

'I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band)' stepping off tonight.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE ROMANTICS!

Johnny's coming home boys. That's right, as you've read above Johnny's heading back to Michigan for a few days (Still mad at them for voting the way they did, like a knife in the back it was) and to see a young buck in Johnny's family getting hitched. Might jackslap Kid Rock if he has time. Let's start this road trip a day or so early and hear from our good Detroit friends The Romantics and 'First in Line'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with LITTLE RICHARD!

If she winks an eye the bread slice turns to toast. If truly the girl can't help it she may want to see an eye doctor. Don't take chances with your eyes, especially if they can burn food. Little Richard putting a bow on the Music Series this week with the aforementioned 'The Girl Can't Help It'

Well somebody put the dorsal fin on the dog, he's just doing what dog sharks do. Death from above!

The cops who kicked the innocent driver at "The Fiery Crash" scene are back on duty

Modified desk duty to be exact. Look, Johnny is no happier these buffoons are still cops in Jersey City but right now the U.S. Attorney’s Office of New Jersey, based on their ongoing investigation have asked Jersey City not to bring departmental charges until their investigation and any charges the feds bring are complete. So desk duty it is according to Jersey City spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill, who also confirmed the request according to Northjersey.com:

"The federal government is investigating and pursuing criminal charges on the officers involved, and they asked that Jersey City holds up on the separate departmental charges until they have completed their work," Morrill said. “Our intention is to hold every officer who was involved accountable.”

This is good news indeed because this kind of 'policing' simply can't happen here again. If Mayor Fulop has to get tough with the JCPD unions so be it.

On this day in history, in a little town called Weehwken in 1804 there was gunfire. Two white guys out thugging over some nonsense at work and you know the rest, Veep Aaron Burr croaked Alexander Hamilton but it was Hamilton who'd get the last laugh, he got on money.

Apparently there's this show called Game of Thrones

While Johnny might have a passing interest (if by passing you mean encyclopedic knowledge) in the show, he's never been to a viewing party of more than 4 people. Zeppelin Hall here in Jersey City will be hosting a Game of Thrones watch party from 7pm until midnight this Sunday. More on the themed food and drink offerings available here.

Aaaaaaaand it get worse, much worse for Donnie Jr. So much so Johnny got a long distance dedication from a Robert M. in Washington DC to Donald Trump Jr. who said he wanted you to know something:
