Holy hell, I had forgotten just how awful 90s music was.
The 90s, and particularly the late 90s, was a super weird time in pop music. It’s almost like any musical style that had ever been popular over the entire 20th century was suddenly popular again.
Swing music, disco, ragtime, ska, and other old timey music was suddenly top 40 shit. Acts like the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Brian Setzer Orchestra, and the soundtrack to “O’ Brother Where Art Thou” were on the radio. Looking back it was pretty weird.
I didn’t complain much, l actually like some of that stuff. The Bosstones in particular are an all time fave. Their early stuff fused ska and metal, some songs were more metal than others.
This is the one that will get me on a dance floor every time.

If you are talking about Jani(John) being born in Akron? He wasn't there very long as a child.
He was in L.A. by 1981, when he was 17. Warrant was formed in late 1983, different singer. Jani didn't join until 1986.
I met Jani when his band was Plain Jane. Never really saw him again after '88.
Great dude...contrary to some of the tabloid crap that is still being produced about him. A total waste of time to read or believe any of it.

He grew up in Brimfield, which is in Portage County, as is Ravenna, where I grew up.

Oh, no wonder Jani always said he is from Akron. I was like what is Dutch talking about? lol. Kind of a suburb of Akron I guess.

My older brother grew up with the albino Winter brothers in Beaumont (same age as Johnny). No one was surprised at their musical talent since they had to spend their lives indoors due to that condition. I was 3 months younger than Edgar, but only knew him in passing. Same grade & school but different classrooms. I think back then we were assigned by last names. Not sure how my brother got to know Johnny. Maybe because he was in band or something.

Johnny for my money was a much better slide player than Duane Allman.. Allman got all the love because he was just younger than everybody else at the time and learned a lot in a short period.. Not a slam on Duane.... Even George Thoroughgood borrows a lot of Johnny's hybrid picking technique.. Hell everybody does. I still love the woody chimey guitar sound he got on the Second Winter album.. Johnny and Albert King set the standard for modern blues and Stevie reinforced it and gave it the life it needed to survive.. SRV basically saved the Fender Stratocaster from exctinction... Some would say I'm over looking BB... BB had his own distinct voice and thing.. But as far as mastering the nuts and bolts of modern blues... Johnny and Stevie raised the bar... Even the gospel element both brothers brought in was there... Johnny and Edgar.. And today we get Justin Beiber... wtf!
