• Today's Briefs is going to be all positive. Starting with a teacher coming out to his students."And then a girl clapped her hands. And then a boy. And then the whole class. They were all clapping for me. Clapping because I had been courageous with them and told them I was gay. I felt relieved and scared and exhilarated and proud all at the same time."

• Continuing the Official snicks Top 100 Lost Hits of The 80's ... And here we are. The Ten Greatest Lost Hits of The 80's! At Number Three is ... "I Couldn't Say No" by Robert Ellis Orrall & Carlene Carter

• And here we have my favorite duet of the 80's, with singer/songwriter Robert Ellis Orrall and the faboo Carlene Carter. Maybe it's my favorite because it looked like my elementary school music teacher singing with the hot hippie chick who lived down the street and would occasionally babysit. It peaked at #32 in May of 1983, and is completely undeserving of its forgotten status. Here's the clue for #2 - "Is It The Love Of The Danger, Or The Danger Of The Love?"
