Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with TALKING HEADS!

It's canoe weekend, to which Johnny's movie group watched 'Deliverance' tonight in honor of Hup All Night. Good to see Burt Reynolds as Canoe Fonzie. Well Johnny loves traditions and playing the Talking Heads version of 'Take Me to the River'  seems the right thing to do.

The name of this band is Talking Heads. The name of this song is 'Swamp'

The right people will get that reference...

Everyone hears what they hear but the beginning of this song will forever be the unofficial MTV bumper music from back in the day. 'Love For Sale' moving us along on this extra special Music Series.

Raise your hand of you remember MTV using this song as a promo track and bumper music! Johnny sure does. He loves it in spite of all that. Talking Heads and 'Love for Sale' and our mystery band fromTwitter.

For the moment Johnny can't think of anything cool to say about Talking Heads that hasn't already been said. In which case it's best to just play the song. 'The Lady Don't Mind' up next.

Johnny maybe floated the idea long ago to Mrs. Johnny that he should wear a suit like David Byrne for their wedding reception at the Michigan Union. 

That didn't happen. So, do enjoy the aforementioned Mr. Byrne in his really big suit and 'Girlfriend Is Better' to start things off tonight.

Sending this one out to all the AuSable River marathon racers starting in Grayling tomorrow evening and heading all night here to Paddletown USA. Early finishers should be coming in around 11am Sunday.

Let the race begin! 'Take Me to the River' is an obvious stepping off place this evening.

While we're not exactly in a 'Life During Wartime' situation, there are some similarities. Johnny went to the store and got some groceries, some peanut butter, just last week.

Oscoda sure ain't got no parties or discos going on. No fooling around here.

This goes without saying tonight

Talking Heads and 'Stay Up Late'
