DARK SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY

THIS IS THE OFFICIAL FAN PAGE FOR RADIO DJ JOHNNY TIMEWARP AND HIS SHOW "DARK SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY", Dissipate the burden.

Johnny Timewarp, "The Redneck of Darkness" and "DJ of the Living Dead", at your service...

Every Saturday night at 11 PM EST through Sunday morning at 9 AM EST, I can be heard over the airwaves of a 4400 watt powerhouse called WHUS 91.7 FM Storrs (listen online at www.whus.org), and every Saturday morning beginning at 7 AM on Northeast CT Community Access Television airing on Charter Channel 192

and Frontier Channel 99...

With a fusion of musical inspiration that ranges from country swing to death metal to the heart and organs of dark folk and old bluegrass, a listen to "Dark Side of the Highway" evokes the dreamscape of leading a steel breeze into an Old West gunfight, knowing you're probably going to die but flirting with the ruse of hope without redemption's promise; maybe even the idea that an eternal Hell of heartfelt music might warrant the compromise of not sitting on a cloud forever playing trite pop songs on a three string lyre. Feel the burn of whiskey, the glow of mortality at the tip of each cigarette as life's soundless winds abandon the heart and tease the mind insane. Spend the early hours with a spurned companion, the memory of falling apart. Realize that the temptations surrendered to will inevitably grant freedom to every wretched soul...

A ten hour hellride through the back roads of your eternal misery featuring the best in roots music, dark Americana, and morbid curiosities for all the graveyard shifters, burnt leftovers, flatliners, nighthawks, freaks, geeks, drunks, junkies, vampires and road dogs of eastern Connecticut, southern Massachusetts, western Rhode Island and beyond...

It's with a heavy heart that I must let you know that Duane passed away peacefully last night.

Deed is in our thoughts at this sad time.

We will all remember Duane as being one of the few musicians who created a sound that was recognisable from the opening bars of his music.

And we will always remember how much Duane valued his fans. When Duane met people after a concert, he would recognise many fans from meeting them on previous tours. I don't think that any other musician of his stature would have been able to do that.

Being a fan was almost like being a member of an extended family. We will all miss him so much.
