Do you have a favorite Johnny? Music lovers will doubtless think of Johnny Cash, but if you're more indie you'll think of Johnny Marr, & if more punk you'll think of Johnny Ramone - or maybe Johnny Thunders. Old-time jazz fans may mention Johnny Dodd, while the more lounge-y crowd might mention Johnny Mathis. & those are just a few of the musicians!
There are lots of Johnnys, wow!
The reason this show is called "A Show Called Johnny" & not just "Johnny" as I did with other name shows, like Bill & Emily is because I'm making a reference to a Waterboys song, specifically "A Girl Called Johnny." There's a video for it!
Man, Karl Wallinger is super scrawny in that video. My life might have been different is the videos that I am now discovering for songs I loved thirty years ago were as easily available as they are now. But also, to be fair, when I was a teenager, the internet would have fucked me up.
That's all.
