On an AM Gold night how about some old CKLW air checks. AM 800 out of Windsor Ontario and serving the Motor City, The Big 8!

Time for Oscoda, After Dark

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE THREE DEGREES!

Johnny well remembers hearing this song on many AM radio stations back in those groovy 1970's. Mostly on The Big 8, CKLW. Ah nostalgia. 'When Will I See You Again' kicking things off tonight on AM Gold night.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with SWEET!

How is your air-drumming? 'Ballroom Blitz' is about to help you find out...

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with JAY FERGUSON!

Johnny doesn't see any guitars. Or drum sets. Or male backup singers. Or female backup singers. Johnny is starting to think this whole performance was lip-synced. You can get way with lip-syncing on 'Thunder Island' you know.

In other news, that's a LOT of hair.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with HAMILTON, JOE FRANK & REYNOLDS!

Johnny has always wondered about the nomenclature of this band with two using one name and one using two. Not important of course, just the kind of things Johnny wonders about. Wrapping up AM Gold night it's, 'Don't Pull Your Love Out'

You kids make sure to come on back tomorrow night for some tip top music!

Time for Oscoda After Dark

Johnny wasn't around the City Desk offices last May 16

No, he was getting cracked open like a turkey and having people with letters after their names touch and fondle his heart in a double bypass surgery. Johnny is still around so here's to all the great folks at Ascension Providence Hospital in Southfield. 

This Elton John song probably wouldn't have made the Music Series anytime soon, not with his incredibly deep catalog but it's Johnny's mood right now so here we go...

Which is the only US state that grows coffee commercially? Answer here.

Time for Oscoda, After Dark

Sunday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE TUBES!

Darn right 'She's A Beauty' so pull up and chair and hear all about it. 

Sunday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE CARS!

Johnny heard this one earlier this week and just knew it was going to be on the Music Series. 'It's All I Can Do' up next

Sunday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with NEW ORDER!

Taking us out and into that workweek, it's the aptly named, 'Regret'

Johnny is heading back out to look at the northern lights. Incredible sight tonight. A Music Series will happen this weekend. Promise!

No, for the last time, we're not making the board bigger. Your character drowns.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE O'JAYS!

Remember the old ad and how it took exactly 3 licks of a Tootsie Pop to get to the Tootsie Roll center? America was fortunate an owl took the time to figure that out. The O'Jays have done a similar test in finding that it takes exactly '992 Arguments' before your significant other is hitting the bricks. Don't believe Johnny? Just listen.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE ART OF NOISE & DUANE EDDY!

Take a great band, add the perfect guitar legend for such a number and then, well, make a horrid 80's video. 

We'll always have the music. 'Peter Gunn' up next

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with PETER FRAMPTON!

Ok kids, smoke 'em if you got 'em. Here comes 14+ minutes of rock and roll heaven. 'Do You Feel Like We Do' taking us out tonight.

Did you know Johnny invented the talk box? That was his nickname in grade school and somebody stole it.
