How Houston was lost: Prop 8 redux as LGBT rights are put on the ballot

"LGBT activists argued until they were blue in the face that every other major city in Texas had such a broad ordinance, as did 200 other large cities across America -- and Houston is the fourth largest city in the U.S. -- but that argument held no weight against the lies of the "bathroom" ads. The opposition ran a hideous but enormously effective attack campaign warning people that their daughters would be molested by men dressing as women in public rest rooms."

Three years ago I presented my personal favorite Briefs list, The 100 Greatest Lost Hits of The 80's, and because if there's one thing Hollywood has taught us, it's that sequels and reboots and remakes are ALWAYS better then the original, we're going to the well again with The 100 Greatest Lost Hits of The 80's Part 2: The Even More Forgotten

We'll be spotlighting 100 more of the greatest minor hits of the decade, the songs you don’t hear on any 80’s nostalgia show. Songs that missed the top ten, or top twenty … or top forty. Hopefully these forgotten gems may ring a long dormant bell, or for younger readers, provide a pop music history lesson.

At #74 is "Steady" by Jules Shear

Jules Shear is probably best known for writing The Bangles "If She Knew What She Wants," and one of Cyndi Lauper's greatest songs, "All Through The Night," but he's also recorded over 20 albums on his own, yielding one chart single, "Steady," which hit #57 in May 1985. TRIVIA: He's the ex-boyfriend of Aimee Mann, who we'll see later on this list.

Here's his original version of "All Through The Night"
