Northern Roots is no more -- They are now Puff Cannabis Company
Johnny just got the word that Northern Roots, AuSable Township's favorite dispensary, has been purchased by Puff Cannabis in order to "Offer better products and better deals in line with shops in Bay City and Detroit..."
Johnny was assured his favorite smiling faces would still be working there so that's a bonus.

Late night open thread
Keep an eye out folks, Johnny is hearing of some snowy weather heading in midweek. Could be a big one.
Time for Oscoda, After Dark
Johnny wants to take some time out for a personal message
Happy Birthday Mom! That's right, Johnny's mom turns 92 today. Johnny and his sisters were told late last April to prepare for her passing as things the doctors said just weren't going to continue on much longer.
And here we are in late January 2022. Truly a blessing for one tough lady.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with JOE JACKSON!
Johnny landed on this song and wondered about just how many Sunday papers he'd actually read in his life. Quite a few actually. Johnny likes keeping up on things and those papers hooked you up with some valuable knowledge in the days before Google and the internets.
Starting us off tonight, a couple days early, it's 'Sunday Papers'
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with DEVO!
In the world of remakes is there one as iconic as this? Johnny remembers how things changed on the radio once this one hit. Suddenly the angry new wave and punk gave way to something much different, a budding techno sound for the first time perhaps? Devo and '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction' up next tonight.
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE BEACH BOYS!
Sending this one out to all Johnny's friends in the path of the big east coast blizzard tomorrow. Johnny has friends about 30 miles west of Boston who are expecting between 2 and 3 feet of snow and 60mph winds.
Time for The Beach Boys and 'Don't Worry Baby' tonight.

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.
