Late night open thread

Time for Oscoda, After Dark


Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with AL WILSON!

See, this right here was what made AM radio great. You could hear a hot song like this 3 or 4 times a day, learn the words, appreciate the tune and if you grew tired of it (It happens) you could pop on another AM radio station doing much the same thing. All your favorites, every day. You even got to call into the station, get on the air, and request your song. 

What happened to society? 'Show and Tell' starting things off tonight.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with JERRY LEE LEWIS!

Something by Jerry Lee lewis was probably unavoidable with Johnny and his girlfriend's Friday night movie being the 1987 New Orleans-based The Big Easy. Dennis Quaid must have been all about filming movies in Louisiana back when. 

At least Ellen Barkin was 18+. 'Breathless' up next

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with YAZ!

One of the more recognizable synth tracks, courtesy of the 1980's. 'Don't Go' taking us out tonight.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with CHUCK BERRY & ETTA JAMES!

Two legends for the price of one. Gosh darn this is just fantastic! A supporting cast of legends behind Chuck and Etta. Push the furniture back and have a good old sing along complete with an over-the-top performance on your part.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with BELLY!

Johnny lives among the tall trees. He walks though them quite often. He's seen deer, rabbits, raccoons, and coyotes in the trees but damned if he's seen Tanya Donelly. 

Oh, you'd have heard by now dear readers, you'd have heard.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with JACKSON BROWNE!

Taking us out tonight one criminally underrated performer, Jackson Browne and 'Tender ids the Night'

Did you know then, Gregg Allman and Browne were once roommates before stardom found each.

Time for Oscoda, After Dark


A few particulars about today's eclipse

Today is the day and this afternoon will bring a solar eclipse that is near totality here in Oscoda. Johnny will list times and what you can expect to see as Oscoda is a touch off being in the totality range. 

*Don't be Donald Trump and stare at the eclipse and point at it like nobody else knows its there.
*Johnny has read it's also a bad idea to point your cell phone directly at the eclipse for the same reason you shouldn't stare at it with your eyes. Eclipse glasses can be used as a filter over your phone camera lens.

Johnny will be out on a trail somewhere around the AuSable River to try and get some cool pics. If he does get one or two you'll be the first to see them dear readers.
