Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with TALKING HEADS!
Canoe race weekend. Johnny tries to alternate the Al Green version vs the Talking Heads version of 'Take Me to the River'
David Byrne's turn to sing it this year.
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with NEW ORDER!
One of Johnny's all-time favorite songs. He could listen to this song once a day and never get sick of it. 'Regret' up next
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with ELVIS PRESLEY!
Johnny was this many days old before he knew this song was written by the mother of Hoyt Axton (the dad in Gremlins) for Elvis. Funny what you can find on IMDB.
The Battle for the Paddle has come!
It's our big weekend Oscoda, people coming in from everywhere for the Grayling to Oscoda Au Sable River Canoe Race. Some "Hup All Night" starts at 9pm in Grayling and of course the grand event ends here Sunday morning. A record number of teams on the river this year should make for extra excitement!
Stick and stay with the Oscoda City Desk for race news like late jockey changes and updates from the canoe paddocks.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with LED ZEPPELIN!
Johnny just wanted to hear 'Ten Years Gone' so guess what's gonna happen...
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with GLORIA JONES!
Nope, this song isn't Soft Cell, it's Gloria Jones who first did what Soft Cell would turn into a massive hit with 'Tainted Love' all the way back in 1964.
Fridat night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with JOHN MELLENCAMP!
One of those all-time song names, 'Key West Intermezzo (I Saw You First) taking us out tonight,

One of the greatest bands of all time at their absolute zenith.
Johnny's pick as best album ever, Quadrophenia and 'The Rock'
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE LOVIN' SPOONFUL!
In the summer, in the city.
Like the mean streets of Oscoda. A summer anthem for a summer Friday night.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with WANDA JACKSON!
Is there anything more American than a prison riot? Johnny thinks not. Let's let the incredible Wanda Jackson tell you all about one. ''Riot in Cell Block Number Nine'
Two-gun Matilda was a badass...
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with STEREO MC'S!
One of those 'push the furniture back' songs. 'Connected' up next.
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with INXS!
'Not Enough Time' to get a new shirt before the video shoot. Puffy shirt indeed.
