Another link-tastic week has past in the world of '80s nostalgia and The Weekly Links is back to sum it all up for you...like a Little Professor calculator! Here is the grand total of what I learned this week:
- Reading Rainbow should have never went off the air.
- Steve Perry and Phil Collins both came out of retirement...and both sounded a little rusty.
- Billy Idol's biography is coming soon, "Writing With Myself" would be my guess at the title.
- Viral videos of teenagers dancing to your song at talent shows = More time on Billboard chart.
- Drinking with the Golden Girls has never been more fun.
- "Ghoststoppers" and "Ghostblasters" were alternate names for Ghostbusters.
- Science is easier to understand using video games.
