A righteous dude
Don't you forget about me: The Buzz notes with wistfulness the passing of film writer and director John Hughes, responsible for “Ferris Bueller's Day Off,” “Home Alone” and “The Breakfast Club,” among many hits of the 1980s.
The pop culture lexicon of catchphrases is richer because of him. To whit:
“Ferris, my father loves this car more than life itself”: The U.S. Senate approved another $2 billion for the “Cash for Clunkers” rebate program.
The Smithsonian Institution has arranged for the world's last Crown Victoria to be put on display at its museum.
---
“Does Barry Manilow know you raid his wardrobe?” Mike Love, who performs with the Beach Boys on Sunday at the Tulalip Amphitheatre, says a reunion with founding members Brian Wilson and Al Jardine is being discussed.
Knowing about Wilson and Love's litigious past, we'll bet on a Beatles reunion first.

“Screws fall out all the time; the world is an imperfect place”: The text-messaging Twitter network was knocked out of service Thursday by a prolonged attack by hackers.
