Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with VAN HALEN!

Johnny is just not ever going to use a Sammy Hagar song with Van Halen on the Music Series, sue him. Club Diamond Dave all the way. Don't get Johnny wrong, Sammy Hagar is a fine American. He's a good rock and roller who makes a tip top tequila.

He's just not singing Van Halen songs on the Music Series. 

'Jamie's Crying' up next tonight.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with DURAN DURAN!

Do you really want Johnny to get in trouble and play that version of this video? We all know it exists. Johnny is using this version thank you very much. 'Girls of Film' taking us out tonight.

Late night open thread

Let's just get it out there, leaving any kind of trash on the trails up here has consequences. Plus then you have to take it up with God or a representative of God. Inc. later on so just put it in your pocket.

Time for Oscoda, After Dark

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with INXS!

The only reason Johnny and Mrs. Johnny didn't wear their early INXS albums down to the vinyl is Mrs. Johnny had the cassettes. Seriously, what a great band. A lot of great choices to start a Music Series as well. How about this gem, 'Don't Change' to get us off on the right note tonight.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with MARY WELLS!

If there was a hall of fame for sad songs, boy howdy this one would have been inducted early. Such a melodic and sweet-sounding number until Ms. Wells lays it on you. 'Two Lovers' up next tonight.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with WANDA JACKSON!

You all know by now Johnny's love affair with the great Wanda Jackson. 

That's not what we're here to talk about. We're here to talk about Jack White. 

10% of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is from Michigan. Did you know that? Think of all the incredible acts that aren't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame from Michigan. That's some pretty great company. 

Jack White is the best guitarist of the bunch. Sure it's a bold statement. Bring your best retort in comments and no, it's not Ted Nugent. 'Fire on the Mountain' taking us out and helping Johnny prove his point.

Time for Oscoda, After Dark

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE RAMONES!

If you're going to start something off right, ie announce your presence with authority, Johnny can think of no better way to do all that that just play 'Blitzkrieg Bop'

So he will, right now.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with KATE BUSH!

Hounds of Love you say? Johnny has one of those. 

He also remembers hearing this song a lot many moons ago working at Ned's Bookstore in Ypsilanti. 'The Big Sky' up next on tonight's Music Series.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD!

Some songs are simply timeless. The lyrics, the mood, Neil Young's masterclass guitar work, this song still sounds great and is pertinent in 2021. 'For What It's Worth' taking us out tonight.
