Time for Oscoda, After Dark

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with TALKING HEADS!

Johnny maybe floated the idea long ago to Mrs. Johnny that he should wear a suit like David Byrne for their wedding reception at the Michigan Union. 

That didn't happen. So, do enjoy the aforementioned Mr. Byrne in his really big suit and 'Girlfriend Is Better' to start things off tonight.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS!

Movie night tonight with Johnny's was none other than the classic Midnight Express so off into some of that rich world history with 'Istanbul (Not Constantinople)' and a reminder, you kids don't get into any time machines and try smuggling hash out of Turkey in the 1970's.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with SAM & DAVE!

They just don't make soul songs like this anymore. Such a classic American sound. 'Hold On I'm Coming' taking us out tonight into some frigid air with one hot tune.

Did you know then, NASA spent millions developing a pen that would work in space because in zero gravity pens don't work.

Time for Oscoda, After Dark

If it's Thursday the Air Force must have been caught in another LIE about PFAS

Indeed, it's pretty much all the USAF does when it comes to PFAS that they caused. Their outright lie now comes as they claim there's no proof veterans and others had ANY PFAS intake through the water source. The Air Force says no, the experts who have the receipts say YES:

“That’s a flat out lie,” said Bob Delaney, a retired geologist who led the state’s oversight at the former B-52 bomber base for years as site manager for the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE).

In 2016, Delaney authored a report which found high PFAS levels in unflushed hydrants and old water appliances in abandoned buildings at the former base. In 2018, he followed that up with hydrogeological analysis, which concluded old groundwater wells that supplied base drinking water likely drew from an aquifer highly contaminated by toxic plumes.

So, more lies from the Air Force who obviously have given up giving a shit about Oscoda, Wurtsmith and the issue they caused. Unfortunately this repeated insolence from the USAF is really hurting USAF vets around here as they hear again and again what they were part of and that their paymaster won't do anything for the rest of the residents. The Air Force is essentially turning their veterans into second-class citizens in their own town. That's lazy AND sad.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with PAT BENATAR!

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame should be ashamed. How does the premiere female singer of the late 70's through the mid 80's not exist in your Hall of Fame? How is it Pat Benatar's best chance to get in comes in the same year Eminem is eligible? 

If Pat Benatar is not elected this year just close the place, seriously. 'We Live for Love' off of the tremendous 'In the Heat of the Night' album getting us started tonight.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with NICK LOWE!

Johnny just found the one song that might not be on the YouTube, 'Party of One' by Mr. Nick Lowe which was going to be our second song tonight. No worries, Johnny has a huge catalog from Nick Lowe to choose from. Executive decisions bring us to 'Switchboard Susan' up next tonight.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with LAVERN BAKER & JACKIE WILSON!

You bet it's the track, 'Think Twice' but this here, this is the X version of this song. Bad words, insults, and some back and forthing from two of the best ever. Do remove the kids from the room.
