Just read somewhere, doesn’t matter where - it’s happening, that, THE Billy Vera is performing at Vitello’s this Friday night in Studio City. I called Vitello’s and they have assured me this is not an April Fool’s Day joke.
BILLY VERA IS AWESOME. I repeat, BILLY VERA IS AWESOME.
Why do I like this song? It’s all about Alex P. Keaton, (APK), falling in love with Ellen Reed from the 1980’s hit TV show, Family Ties. This was a two-part episode. As a young aspiring APK, I watched their relationship blossom during prime time on Sunday nights. I looked forward to finding my very own Ellen some day. (Still searching, too)
Let’s face it, growing up I wanted to be Alex P. Keaton. Who didn’t? APK was smart, quick with the wit, and wore sweater vests & blazers with patches on the elbows. Alex was a professor in the making. Most of all, he was dating Ellen. (Come to think of it, Ellen might have been my first of many TV crushes)
Anywho… Here’s the cool part: even though Alex and Ellen broke up on the show, they’re married in real life. What do you think about that, Lauren Miller from seasons 6 and 7?
Hope you enjoy the song.
