There was an article in today’s Inky about the upcoming smoking ban. And here’s an article in last months New York Times (don’t worry, you don’t need a subscription) about their smoking ban. And finally, a list of businesses hit hard by the smoking ban.

I’m not quite sure what to say about this. It’s just so strange. Horrifying, and yet alluring and amusing at the same time. I haven’t been feeling that well lately, so that’s why the photos aren’t already up. They will definitely all be up by tommorrow. Thanks for your patience.

Finally you can make your own church sign!!! Thanks to Jen O. for sending this link.

Just wanted to make sure you guys had seen the second group of ten album covers. These are even better than the first ten.

Yo, my man David Stone is going to be playing at Fergie’s on Wednesday. And what’s even better, he’s gonna be playing at 10 p.m., right after I get done at Black Sheep. And not only do you get to hang with Johnny Goodtimes and watch Johnny Cash, but there is no cover! It’s like heaven, except without Tutti from “Facts of Life.” (Have you seen her lately? Damnnnn!!!!)

This is pretty hilarious. Thanks to Suzy for sending me the link. If you have a good link, feel free to send it to johnny@johnnygoodtimes.com.

Who won the Razzie this year for Worst Supporting Actor?

Oscar afficianardo Ernest P. Kern has made his fearless predictions for the Oscars on Sunday. Here goes.

Best Picture– “The Aviator” 33 of the last 37 movies to lead
in nominations won Best Picture. The 4 that didn’t was either the first
part of a trilogy (Lord of the Rings – The Fellowship of the Ring) or
starred Warren Beatty (Bonnie and Clyde, Reds, Bugsy) The Aviator is
neither part of a trilogy or has Warren Beatty .

Best Actor – Jamie Foxx – “Ray” If there is such a thing as a LOCK this is it.

Best Actress – Hilary Swank – “Million Dollar Baby” I would estimate more
members saw this performance than the other 4 combined.

Best Supporting Actor – I’m going out on a limb here. Clive Owen won a
Golden Globe. Morgan Freeman won the SAG award. I’m predicting Thomas Haden Church for “Sideways” The Academy will want to give “Sideways” more than just an Adapted Screenplay Award.

Best Supporting Actress – Cate Blanchett – “The Aviator” The Academy loves it when a Lead takes a Supporting role (ex. Renee Zellweger last year)

Best Director – Martin Scorsese – “The Aviator” The Academy is tired of hearing “THE WORLD’S GREATEST LIVING DIRECTOR who’s never won an academy award” If he doesn’t win there will be a BIG push to get him a Lifetime Achievement Award. (Like what they did with Hitchcock)

Hey, I’ve started compiling some good Hunter quotes, and as I am reading one of his books of letters right now, I am sure I’ll have more coming. If you’ve got any good ones, feel free to add them. Also, here’s a funny article by Tom Wolfe about the times he spent with Hunter. And here’s a short but wonderful eulogy by his famous artist friend Ralph Steadman. Finally, check out my eulogy to the good doctor on the message board. Click below to see the quotes.

A pathetic Johnny Goodtimes returned to Capitol Hill this morning (wait, Capitol Hill, Capitol Grill, I just got the play on words! Just now! Seriously. I’m a moron.) to apologize to the outraged patrons of O’Neals who played quizzo last night. “Maroon 5 totally blows, I know they totally blow, and still I played one of their songs last night. It was indefensible. Yeah, I’ve played Richard Marx and Bryan Adams in the past, but at least they are amusing. Maroon 5 just f****** sucks, and there was no excuse for me to play that bulls***. This is one of the most humiliating days of my life.” A tearful Goodtimes was too choked up to finish his speech, and had to be escorted away by Tom Daschle.
