Man, that Hot 100 list is just mind blowing. Where the F did we all go so wrong? We had the power, and it's all gone now. I have no words for how corporate music, and everything else has become. I think I'm putting extra $$ on my fund raiser donation. It's a strange world, Baby.

"Big" is a fun film but it does contain bits that adults might need to explain such as when Tom Hanks misinterprets the advances of Elizabeth Perkins to think of a sleepover.

I guess The Challengers performed the DC5 song on an episode of Man from U.N.C.LE. ? I remember they would try be all hip for "the kids" in the audience, the young Sonny and Cher guest-starred in an episode, etc
