- Birthday shoutouts go to Jared Leto (above), who is 41. David Sedaris is 56, and Reichen is 39.
- First, a programming note. We'll be on a very limited schedule, but you'll have a Briefs and Meme the rest of the week, as well as some special posts in between.
- He's Baaaack! Remember the guy who caused a firestorm with his sham report saying that children of gay parents are worse off than children of straight parents? Well, now he "Claims Viewing Porn Increases Support For Gay Marriage Among Straight Men."
- Gerry Anderson has passed away at the age of 83. Best remembered for Thunderbirds and Space: 1999, he'll always hold a place in my heart for the 80's supermarionation classic Terrahawks, and its closing theme.
- Big congrats to Ryan Murphy and husband David Miller, who have announced the birth of son Logan Phineas Miller Murphy,

- The 100 Greatest Lost Hits Of The 80's countdown may be over, but every Wednesday we're going to travel back again and pay tribute to an 80's tune that should have been a bigger hit. This week, it's "To Live And Die In L.A." by Wang Chung. Best known for "Everybody Have Fun Tonight," and "Dance Hall Days," my favorite Wang Chung song is the title song from William Friedkin's gritty thriller. It peaked at a frustrating #41 in December 1985.
- Continuing the 50 Greatest 80's TV Theme Songs/Openings!, Here's #30, The Renegades.
- Lasting a month on ABC, from March 4th - April 8th, 1983, The Renegades was part The Warriors and part The Mod Squad, as members of a "gang" are recruited to go undercover for the police to solve crimes. Patrick Swayze (in one of his first starring roles) was gang leader "Bandit," and the others had cool nicknames like "Eagle" and "Dragon," except for poor Tracy Scoggins., who had to settle for ... "Tracy." And if I was a member of a street gang, I'm not sure I'd want my nickname to be "Dancer," but maybe it's an ironic gang member nickname. But I would definitely want this theme music playing everywhere I go ... to announce me.
