Sunday Night Song

Jack Wagner, best known for roles on General Hospital and Melrose Place and the Billboard #1 hit "All I Need", won his second American Century Investments Celebrity Golf Tournament at Lake Tahoe on Sunday. Wagner held off Dallas Cowboy QB Tony Romo, who has now finished second three years in a row. Wagner, who led from start to finish, also won in 2006.

To celebrate his win, our Sunday Night Song will be Wagner's 1985 #1 hit, All I Need! Good job Frisco!

Sunday Night Song

I don't like what is getting back to me.

ABC announced this week the Katie Couric had been hired to do an afternoon talk show which is tentatively scheduled to take the time slot currently occupied by long running soap opera General Hospital, which puts into question what will become of the residents of Port Charles.

Couric, who left he post as host of the CBS Evening News with nothing short of abysmal ratings, is certain to bomb in this new venture. To think ABC would sunset GH for Couric would call into question sound thinking at ABC/Disney and cause one to consider a sell rating on Disney stock (DIS:NYSE). As a longtime shareholder, I plan to make my voice heard at the next shareholders meeting.

GH is iconic, and has spurned more actors and singers than you would ever know. Demi Moore, Richard Simmons, Bahl's Babe Vanessa Marcil and Richard Dean Anderson are just a few of the actors while Ricky Martin, Jack Wagner and Rick Springfield are former GH cast members with Billborad #1 songs to their credit.

On the backdrop of this unwelcome news, it was Rick Springfield performing live this evening in downtown Orlando. In honor of Dr. Noah Drake, and in support of General Hospital, the Sunday Night Song tonight is Rick Springfield with Don't Talk To Strangers!

The American Century Golf Championship

Actor Jack Wagner, formerly of ABC's General Hospital and FOX's Melrose Place, signs autographs on Saturday at The American Century Investments Celebrity Golf Tournament benefitting The Lance Armstrong Foundation at Lake Tahoe.

The tournament includes celebrities like Al Michaels, politicians such as Dan Quayle, current athletes like Tony Romo (with Jessica Simpson in tow), and former athletes including Rick Rhoden, Michael Jordan, John Elway, Wayne Gretzky and Dale Jarrett.

I have always pulled for Jack Wagner, who is the only "non-athlete" to win the event, winning in 2006. I have been a fan of his since the early 80's, and I had occasion to meet the General Hospital star during his musical tour, showcasing his #1 hit "All I Need". Pictured below is Wagner backstage at the Bob Carr Auditorium in Orlando in May 1985.

The American Century Golf Championship, broadcast annually by NBC Sports, is scheduled to donate over a half a million dollars to The Lance Armstrong Foundation. It is also fun to watch!
