A man sporting a grey beard and a grey suit is dancing blissfully with a beer in his hand. But Reed also manages to thrill the young generation.

Moore will also endure pre-marital counseling by Robin Williams in her July film with John Krasinski, License to Wed. Good girl factoid: She decided she wanted to be a singer after watching Oklahoma...
...JAPAN: Def Leppard, the ultimate power balladeers of the '80s, toured with wild success in Britain, the U.S. and Japan in the summers of '86, '87 and '88. This year the group has a lower-key itinerary: 50 gigs with Styx throughout the U.S. and Canada...
