Radio NewYork International

Another fresh edition of pop-tacular music arrives at your Internet connection this PM when our homely, er, only Dave THE Boogie Man hard drives his way into your hearts and other body organs with GREAT MUSIC ignored by the corporate radio machine.

You are advised to make way for Dave starting at 8 PM Eastern time, at the usual links for your chance to make new musical friends you’ll wanna keep around! Pre Game nonsense begins about 7:30.

We have spent copious air time discussing one of the biggest non-issues of the year to date on the air, that being of course, the proposed Mosque or ‘Cultural Center’ a short walk from the two big holes in the ground that many considered sacred ground in downtown Manhattan, New York.

This scared ground is thought by many to be the result of the Islamic faith, so the idea that a place of worship for its adherents would be built so close approaches blasphemy for those so ideologically static.

I have expressed my view, that being, that I have no problem with a Mosque being constructed so close to ground zero. Sure I question the funding, those who may run it, and whether or not it will be a good neighbor, or have very loud speakers issuing forth Koranic readings at inappropriate hours, such as the one in my former neighborhood, which rendered sleep impossible for those within a few blocks of it.

That said, I have also expressed, to the consternation of some, my lack of love for Islam. While not a religious person at all, and in general am opposed to organized religion, I am fully not a fan of Islam, which in many respects, is obviously a rather intolerant, violent religion, based for many on the archaic Shariah laws that hard liners hold dear.

Christopher Hitchen’s latest article in Slate, covers similar ground, in his usual well defined and thought provoking manner. It, and the comments to it from readers of the column, make for a good read, and I suggest you use the link below to read it for yourself.

As always, your comments here, are hugely appreciated! Thanks!

Tonight on RNI, your bumble servant returns with another three rounds of infotainment picked at its peak of freshness, and boy can I ever be fresh.

  Although our ‘work in progress’ studio may or may not get us through another Extravagonzo without the screw ups, mistakes and the technical errors you have come to associate with RNI, we shall do our best to compell you to stay tuned for all three hours of radio from the center of my muddled mind.

The master of musical mayhem, our very only Dave THE Boogie Man, returns to the 11L network and RNI this evening with another three rounds of essential music (and other odd items) commencing as per usual at 8:00 PM Eastern time.

Pre-Game tunage starts at 7:30. As always your attendance is mandatory, under penalty of having to endure old Johnny Lightning WJPL pirate radio tapes, and you don’t want that I assure you.

It may not be quite as sexy as the image above, but nonetheless, prepare for the humbling experience that is the A Little Bit Of Everything Radio Extravagonzo, as your pally John P. Lightning takes to the airwaves and leaves his senses once more Sunday, August 8th, for another three hour romp through the back roads of radios communications highway, to entertain and inflame.

As always, if you love great talk radio… well, you’ll have to settle for what we do instead, but considering the admission fee, I’d be by my PC and other equipment this evening no later than 8PM Eastern Time, for the mix of commentary, comedy, music and your infernal telephonic interruptions, that defines what talk radio could be in a saner (or perhaps, sicker) society.

I’ll be keeping the attendance log and filling out your delaney card, so you best be here spachime! The pre game tunes start about 7:30 so get in line as our listener ports are limited.

Thanks!

As some of you have pointed out, we have been a tad remiss in posting the audio of our most recent programs.

This was due to the usual ‘computer issues’ which left us wholly bereft of recordings of the shows.

Fortunately, our friend in the north country, J.D., bailed us out and supplied us airchecks from his personal collection so we will be able to post the shows, which, I less than humbly believe, our among our best work, and definitely worth your time to download or listen to on our stream.

I shall endeavor to post this Sunday’s program and the previous two Extravagonzons sometime Tuesday evening so you can hear what you missed and hopefully share the wealth with others who are unfortunately not in attendance every other Sunday. Help us grow our audience and tell a friend or twenty about what they’re missing.

And as always, please do leave your feedback on our endeavors at the comments link below, or E Mail the staff anytime at Johnplightning@aol.com.

If it is Sunday, and Mr. Lightning is relaxing and drinking copious quantities of wine and watching some classic country videos on You Tube (but not past 8PM), you know it is time for our own Dave THE Boogie Man, and more of the powerful pop and more he exposes you to in our back alley here at 11L/RNI.

This week the legendary Barry Badman joins Dave at 7:25 (so Be EARLY PAL) to honor one of the most influential American born power pop pioneers — FRANK SECICH, bass player for BLUE ASH, THE STIV BATORS BAND and currently with THE DEADBEAT POETS.

Tune in for another educational and rockin’ session with Barry Badman and Dave the Boogieman this Sunday at 7:25 for a very special pre-show and the usual follow-up hijinks provided by Dave as he rolls out tune upon tune of top quality tunage that will become friends of your family after their exposure on Dave’s boogie down debacle, as heard at our listen links… only here… at Original Formula Radio NewYork International.
