News Round-Up: September 15, 2018

 Some news items you might have missed:

• I realized I haven't featured one of my favorite InstaHunks, "world's sexiest math teacher" turned model Pietro Boselli in a while. And then Pietro posted this just a few hours ago with the caption, "Elements." Can we just sit and look for a sec?

• Fox News host Laura Ingraham's gay brother is having an all-out war with her in the media calling her "destructive" and a "monster." And that's just the beginning...

• Romania has moved one step closer to outlawing same-sex marriage. An anti-LGBT citizens group submitted a petition with over 3 million signatures asking for the country to vote to make marriage between ' a man and a woman.'

• People born in New York City who don't identify as male or female will soon be able to select a nonbinary gender category on their birth certificates.

• Anti-LGBT activist Linda Harvey has declared that oral sex is "the practice of homosexuals." Funny, I thought straight folks liked oral sex, too...?

• A little throwback to the 80s this fine Saturday with Pat Benatar and her classic, "Shadows of the Night."

Man, those vocals and harmonies are killer. And the production is so awesomely 80s.

Hit play and enjoy. Happy Saturday, kids!

Flashback Friday: Pat Benatar "We Belong"


Released in 1984, Pat Benatar received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance for "We Belong," which was the lead single from her sixth studio album, Tropico.

I've always had a visceral thing for the chorus' drum beat. And, seriously, Benatar's vocals are fab.

Sunday Pool Song: Pat Benatar "Shadows of the Night"



We typed in "Cher" in Pandora today by the pool getting psyched for tonight's concert here in Vegas.

We got one Cher song, then this came on. What a great 80s vocal. Love Pat Benatar.

This track came from her 1982 album "Get Nervous." The track hit #13 on BIllboard and the album hit #4.

Couldn't find the official music video on YouTube. Darn it.  You'll remember Pat played a WWII pilot on a mission - love those 80s "story" videos.

Benatar is still out there rocking with a concert schedule of over 30 dates this summer. Rock on.
