Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with SHEILA E!
Johnny is digging deep on tonight's theme, the name Sheila. Artists and songs all about Sheila. Yes, Blondie has a wonderful song named 'Shayla' but tonight that'd be a typo.
'The Glamorous Life' stepping things off tonight
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with TOMMY ROE!
Look, if the song didn't have a connection to the name Sheila it wouldn't be here tonight. 'Sheila' surprisingly up next.
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE SMITHS!
Amazing the mileage you can get out of the name Sheila in music history isn't it? 'Sheila Take A Bow' finishing up tonight

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with BOBBY LEWIS!
A little one-hit wonder with this one, 'Tossin' and Turnin' which is a song older than even Johnny.
That's pretty old.
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with MIDNIGHT OIL!
Amazing song from a great band. Now, enjoy scenes from the Australian outback and elsewhere on 'The Dead Heart' in the glory of 480p.
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with DIRE STRAITS!
To find this song all one needs do is type "Sultans" into the search field on YouTube. Nothing else matters. 'Sultans of Swing' taking us back to where it all began for Dire Straits.

Happy MLK Day!
And as always, dating all the way back to the old Ypsi City Desk, the famed "I Have A Dream" speech which is more necessary today than ever.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with TEARS FOR FEARS!
Near as Johnny can tell England doesn't have a team in the college football playoffs so it's just Tears for Fears and 'Break It Down Again' leading us out tonight.
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with JANIS JOPLIN!
With the University of Texas playing Ohio State tonight in a college football playoff semi-final Johnny thought it's be a good night to drop a song representing Texas and one all for Ohio. Starting off with Janis Joplin who attended UT with the timeless, 'Me and Bobby McGee'
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE PRETENDERS!
From the state of Ohio let's go with long-time Johnny fave the Pretenders with 'Tattooed Love Boys' in our college football playoff Music Series.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN!
Because it's an awesome song, that's why. 'Badlands' giving us a proper kick-off tonight.
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with JOHNNY CASH!
'Rock Island Line' is only just over two minutes long. Johnny will shut up so you can get right to it. This song was released New Year's Day 1957.
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with DANNY & THE JUNIORS!
Johnny feels cheated. He never got to go to the hop before it went belly up and closed (Yes, he's aware).
'At the Hop' closing up shop on another Music Series
