Now I need to catch up regarding Italian Heritage Month so I will probably go with these very quick, brief snippets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Her last name may sound familiar but you&#8217;re probably thinking of former Arizona governor and current DHS head Janet Napolitano. Johnette is a singer\/songwriter who has entertained many in the Alternative circles for 25-plus years. First as lead singer\/bassist of Concrete Blonde. This band tends to be an on\/off again thing because I went to their farewell tour in 1993 yet they&#8217;re reunited again; they&#8217;ll be playing the new Emo&#8217;s East later this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Most people also remember their big 1990 hit &#8220;Joey,&#8221; which is a very touching song and Johnette&#8217;s vocals are what cinched it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Outside Concrete Blonde (a name chosen by Michael Stipe when he was the darling of IRS Records), she was in Pretty &amp; Twisted, Vowel Movement, the touring singer for The Heads (aka Talking Heads minus David Byrne) and gone solo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I also had the opportunity to meet her in 2007 so I can speak from experience that she isn&#8217;t related to Janet.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been out sick obviously.
