Don't fret, '80s nation. Well, all two of you who haven't started your holiday weekend. Though it's Independence Day weekend over here in the U.S., there's no leave of liberty for Stuck in the '80s.

With my personal life in turmoil, my friends all out of town and no plans on the calendar, you can expect regular updates -- Michael Jackson FREE updates -- all weekend long. And ...

A new podcast is on the way. Yes, the horrible hits of 1984 will be online before the night is over.

So, as I turn over a new leaf in life and try to find direction again, here's what I need in return.

YOUR IDEAS: Drop us some comments with podcast ideas. What topics have we been ignoring? What music are you not hearing enough of?

YOUR FAN GREETINGS: The cupboard is bare again! Please use our toll-free line and leave us some new fan greetings to use during the podcast. The number is (866) 371-9605 and it's free inside the United States. You can also record a greeting and e-mail it to stuckinthe80s@tampabay.com.

YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS: Now that my life is suddenly and unexpectedly void of any significant other, what's my next move? Pining away? Woodcarving? Online dating? Priesthood? At least tell me which DVDs to watch while I spend the holiday weekend alone in the Spears Lair.

Thanks again for all the great e-mails you've sent over the last two weeks. It's meant more to me than I can adequately communicate in any medium. Thanks to you, Stuck in the '80s will continue to live on. Viva la '80s.
