Johnny & The Jock Straps Part 2

Hey everybody, John Michaels here. It was kindly pointed out to me that this Friday is not exactly November 11th. In fact it’s not even close. This Friday is November 30th. That means that our show this Friday at Rascals’ will be taking place on November 30th and not in the past on November 11th . It also means that I need to hire a proof reader.

Also, I tend to think that everyone on the mailing list knows me well enough to know and understand my sense of humor, but that may not be the case. It was brought to my attention that someone thought I was serious about calling the band Johnny and The Jockstraps, and that we were actually going to show up only wearing jock straps because we weren’t getting enough attention. I can assure you that though my sense of humor may travel at warp speeds, I’m not about to sell my soul or toss my integrity to get some attention. I would never sit and watch a band dressed that ridiculous and I wouldn’t appear anywhere like that for all the money in the world….and that’s a fact.

On that note, we never had a real band member give away, we never played at a place called the Rats Ass, I’ve never been shot out of a cannon, I’m not working on a CD called Punk Songs For Rebel Children, and my family didn’t serve cat for thanksgiving. I will continue to mix fiction and non fiction in my messages to keep you all guessing. That’s part of the fun for me in writing these messages and updates, and I have to have my fun.

On that note, this Friday at Rascals’ I have a special surprise for everyone about some changes in my life and here are the only hints I’m going to give you…. my voice is a lot higher than it used to be, and at the beginning of the year the band name will be changed from John Michaels and the Invisible Dogs to Joan Michaels and the Invisible Dogs.

See you Friday…. and that’s November 30th .

John
