Don't you forget about me

Well, R.I.P. John Hughes, chronicler of my generation's adolescence, the man who launched a thousand 80s catchphrases - "Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?" "Wha's happenin' hotsuff?' etc - and the careers of so many actors whose stars will never dim: Ally Sheedy, Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson. I do remember getting in umpteen Sheedy versus Ringwald debates in high school (I was firmly in the Sheedy camp).

Happened to walk by the Breakfast Club cafe in Soho yesterday, who appear to be in deep, deep mourning...
