Saginaw is the best known for its successful manufacturing industries, but the city also has many ties to popular music from the mid-20th century.
As part of our series on how central and northern Michigan have helped shape America in our 250th year, WCMU's Cristin Coppess tells us more about artists who hail from Saginaw and the city's lyrical references.
Also on the show, the Michigan Court of Appeals reversed two more convictions related to the 20-20 plot to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer; a report from the Citizens Research Council of Michigan suggests the next state budget could be overspending by $600 million to $900 million; FEMA has allocated millions of dollars to help northern Michigan recover from the 2025 ice storm.
