Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with WILBERT HARRISON!

Repping for the Kansas City Chiefs, this classic by Mr. Wilbert Harrison, 'Kansas City.'

When the evil Art Modell took the Browns to Mordor and Johnny suddenly had no NFL team to cheer for he did briefly consider changing his allegiances to the Chiefs. They were an established team, played on natural grass and had great fans. Johnny did hang on for the Browns to come back years later but for a while there, the Chiefs looked like they could be the new team of record.

While Johnny will be pulling for the 49ers on Sunday, it's nothing against the Chiefs or their great fanbase.


Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with JESSE FULLER!

Repping our San Francisco side of things, the standard by Jesse Fuller, 'San Francisco Bay Blues.'

Mea Culpa, Johnny will be cheering for the 49ers on Sunday. Mrs Johnny was a huge SF fan and Johnny has many throwback jerseys from which to choose from to wear Sunday. He's down to a Ronnie Lott or Jerry Rice. Johnny finds himself cheering for SF because his team is the Browns and they weren't often in the playoffs while the Niners were perennials for so long.

Here's to the San Francisco fans!

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with SANTO & JOHNNY!

Do you know how long Johnny has been waiting to see his name up in the big lights of the Music Series?

Even if it's the wrong Johnny.

Santo and Johnny taking us out tonight with their classic, 'Sleepwalk'

Johnny has caught wind of dissension in the Perchville ranks -- Tawas Bay Beach Resort has gone all Footloose

If Johnny is hearing the Perchville fans are upset about the new rules we've heard being laid out by the Tawas Bay Beach Resort all the way up in Oscoda, friends, Perchville has a problem. The entire launching pad for Perchville events Johnny hears has gone all John Lithgow in Footloose: No doors left open. Trying to crack down on people going and out of other rooms with ease, rules, stipulations and Johnny's heard from three people they're not happy. Really cracking down on the fun folks have come to expect, that's no good.

Know who has fine-ass hotels and motels and love when you have a good time? Don't make Johnny say it. Why not c'mon up and stay in a place that knows a little something about fishing.

And fun.

Some thoughts on the rising worry of the Wuhan Flu/Corona Virus

Johnny has been following, closer probably than the average American, the troubling outbreak from Wuhan Province in China of the Corona Virus that has now spread throughout China and has popped up around the globe. Many of you who regularly read this website as well as the old Jersey City Desk know, Johnny's wife passed away from Avian Flu A or commonly known as 'bird flu.' Johnny has spent a lot of time learning about the Zoonotic diseases (diseases that pass from animals to humans) and he can tell you one thing, prevention is the only way to deal with something possibly deadly like this Corona virus.

Mrs. Johnny passed away in her sleep early in the morning on a Monday. She'd gone to her personal trainer at Base in Jersey City on Sunday. That evening was also the Patriots vs Eagles Super Bowl and she ate like one would at a Super Bowl party. By morning she was gone. Never felt the need to take more than a usual dose of Delsym cough syrup.

What can we learn? There is NO wellness program at work or flu shot at Walgreens that is going to protect you from these strange strains of flu. By the time you have your blood work sent off and it comes back, the flu has already mostly run it's course. By the time you have it kids, it's too late, you have it, right? Sadly, about the only real thing one can do is to follow suggestions about not getting these diseases, like washing hands constantly after going out and doing anything. Don't touch your mouth, nose or eyes before washing your hands.

Where did Mrs. Johnny even get the Bird Flu? Who knows but therein lies his point, you never know who you're walking by at the Target or riding next to on a train. PREVENTION is your best and really only way to game plan an outbreak like this.

Oh, btw, if you're going to get a medical mask to wear, the common cheap-o's don't stop what you want it to stop, spring for a better kind.

Everybody likes to trace things back to the original thing. Who was the first one to do something. Here's a great story on the first twerkers and how it's nobody you'll ever imagine until you click here.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE ANIMALS!

The Animals here on 'Don't Bring Me Down' simply explaining "his" earning potential goes up when "her" yelling and nonsense goes down. Seems almost like a relationship law of physics for snivelers. Eric Burdon is lucky this is such a great song otherwise. More of that ratty/greasy/electric slinky guitar in the background, please.
