For all you loyal Pop Life readers out there -- especially those who partake in our award-winning Idol Chats -- tomorrow is a momentous day for a beloved member of our cyberfamily. After serving this great nation for 23 years, that quick-draw smartaleck Commander Jeffrey M. "Jeff in Cuba" Johnston of Guantanamo Bay is retiring his patriotic underoos.

I'd like to be the first Pop Lifer to congratulate Jeff for his steadfast dedication to the military -- and never letting that steadfast dedication interfere with bashing David Archuleta right here at tampabay.com.

Anyway, Jeff would like to "share the day with my fellow Pop Lifers," and what better way to huzzah our pal than with a celebratory playlist? In the Navy by the Village People, perhaps? Or maybe The First Cut Is the Deepest by Cat Stevens, to salute JiC's withering wit (often at my expense, something that delights the Forever Fiancee). In a touching moment, I'd like to offer up Arthur Fiedler's version of The Stars and Stripes Forever, my favorite flag-waver. So come on, Pop Life! Let's hear it for our boy!
