Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with MEAT LOAF!

So sad to wake to the news today that Meat Loaf had passed. Johnny was a fan. No, not necessarily of the overplayed and overhyped ballads that sold so well but there were gems Johnny loved. This is sure one. Yes, tonight is about Meat Loaf but how about a thought for the incredibly talented Ellen Foley who plays opposite Meat Loaf in the back seat and on the microphone. Without her this song just isn't the same. She told the story that to get the desired effect for the make-out session going on Ellen and Meat Loaf really were mashing it up doing their parts for this song.

The timeless classic, 'Paradise By the Dashboard Light' starting us off tonight.

Saturday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with IAN HUNTER!

Ellen Foley is a goddamned national treasure. If you had to ask who is Ellen Foley you best get schooled. Ellen sings backup and then the back and forth at the end of this song. Ellen sang on Clash records when she was dating Mick Jones. Good idea. She sang on hits with Joe Jackson and yes, the American standard, 'Paradise By the Dashboard Light' with Meat Loaf (who like Johnny is an avid ghost hunter). THE Ellen Foley who has better work than some in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Ellen Foley with Ian Hunter and one Johnny really adores, 'We Gotta Get Out of Here'
