At 8 p.m. on March 31, 1880, this city in this state became the first city in the world to be lit by electricity—via four “Brush lights,” invented by Clevelander Charles F. Brush.

Can you name the state and for extra points the city? Answer here.

Time for Oscoda, After Dark

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with BIG AUDIO DYNAMITE!

Johnny was just devastated as The Clash slowly came apart and finally broke up. Where was he gonna get his fix? Along comes Mick Jones with Big Audio Dynamite and you know what? It was pretty darned good. Johnny can be a hard sell on a group morphing into something different or the coming together of the supergroups like Asia and or The Power Station et al. This was different. Mick Jones got power up and saved the day. Always a soft spot for Big Audio Dynamite starting out tonight with 'E=MC2'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with DAVE MATTHEWS BAND!

This song, 'Two Step' always sounds good, in the house, in the car, shooting grouse, getting vaccinated, you name it. That's why it's on the Music Series. But you guessed that, huh?

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with JOE WALSH!

Friday night is movie night at Johnny's place and tonight was the classic "The Warriors" which is surely a love letter to that era of New York City. 'In the City' taking us out tonight.

"Good news boppers, the big alert has been called off. It turns out that the early reports were wrong, all wrong. Now for that group out there that had such a hard time getting home, sorry about that. I guess the only thing we can do is play you a song."

Johnny's view of the big fire today on a pup walk. Between the Air Force and Forest Service Johnny is getting the feeling the government doesn't much like us up here.

Time for Oscoda, After Dark

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with SNEAKER PIMPS!

Johnny ADORES this song. This is desert island playlist stuff right here.

Sneaker Pimps with the hypnotic and oh so sonic, 'Six Underground'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE KINKS!

'A Well Respected Man' does allow one to ask if they knew anyone growing up, or someone they have met along the way in life that might just fit the bill for this song. 

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with OHIO PLAYERS!

Sending this one out to the US Forest Service for the hash they made out of their controlled burn today that started in East Tawas and ended up burning near the Lumberman's Monument and elsewhere in Oscoda Township. 

Don't let it happen again. The Ohio Players with 'Fire' taking us out into the smoky hazy air that is Oscoda tonight.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE LIONS!

Every so often on the Music Series Johnny will drop a tune by a criminally underrated reggae band called The Lions. The important thing to see here is if you listen to this and agree with Johnny. 

'Sweet Soul Music' leading off tonight and sure, smoke 'em if ya got 'em.
