So, I’ve known this song – and artist – for years. Levi won A Tony Award for his role in “Million Dollar Quartet,” but he’s been a successful ‘out’ singer/songwriter for years.
It turns out this song was featured on The Vampire Diaries on the season finale this past spring… who knew?
I do know I like the song and vocal a lot.

Best known for her Emmy Award-winning role as Buddy Lawrence in the ’70s show Family and later as Barbara Weston in Empty Nest, Kristy McNichol left it all behind when she dropped out of Hollywood to focus on her health.
McNichol, 49, who has lived with her partner Martie Allen, also 49, for the past two decades, decided to make a statement about her sexuality and share this photo because she is “approaching 50” and wants to “be open about who I am.”
She “is very sad about kids being bullied,” her publicist Jeff Ballard tells PEOPLE. “She hopes that coming out can help kids who need support. She would like to help others who feel different.”
Done with acting, McNichol spends her time focusing on tennis, yoga, travel and raising her beloved miniature dachshunds. “She is very happy and healthy,” says Ballard. “And she enjoys living a very private life.”
According to TV Guide, the controversial costume from the writer’s mostly-unseen Wonder Woman pilot will be worn by none other than Erica Durance — Smallville’s Lois Lane — on the January 11 episode of Harry’s Law.
In the upcoming episode of the NBC legal series—also written by Kelley—Durance will play a mentally unstable character who actually believes she is Wonder Woman.
“What ends up happening is that my character, Annie Billson, has gone one step too far, or some would say many steps too far, and taken this psychosis, this vigilantism a little far in the opinion of society and she’s hurt one too many people, and so she’s actually been charged with a crime,” Durance told TV Guide. “She goes to see Adam (Nate Corddry), whom she has a history with and has gone to high school with. He knows her, so she seeks his representation.”
When asked if she would have preferred wearing Wonder Woman’s traditional costume over the long pants version from Kelley’s defunct pilot, Durance said, “I’m very grateful for the pants. I know that people were very excited about the underwear and seeing them. To be quite frank, I don’t know if I could’ve done the underwear justice at this point in time and it might have been more upsetting for people to see me in them than to not, so I think the pants are a safe bet for me.”
Durance’s episode of Harry’s Law will air on NBC at 9/8c on Wednesday, Jan. 11.

It’s cocktail time somewhere.
Republic lawmakers in Washington state were quick to challenge Gov. Chris Gregoire’s recent push to pass gay marriage, saying it would create an unnecessary distraction.
The Seattle Times reports that Senate Republic Leader Mike Hewitt said the issue would cause problems because Ed Murray, a gay state senator and also the state’s Democratic budget negotiator, was “vested in this personally.”
Gregoire disputed claims that the state wouldn’t have time to address gay marriage during the upcoming legislative session, which begins Monday.
“To those who say we don’t have the time, what will history say when we say, ‘Sorry, we had a budget to pass, so we continued to discriminate.’ That answer does not work,” Gregoire said after a panel on the issue. “This is our test. This is what leadership is about. Now is our time.”
