The Weekly Links: Tom Hanks on a Floor Piano, Remington Steele Reboot, Back To The Future: The Musical

The Weekly Links are back from the future of retro past to give you the best of new stuff about old stuff (Sorry, just watched Back to the Future Part II.) Hope you've been enjoying all the A-Team festivities here on RD80s over the past two weeks. Wyatt and I still have several articles in the queue for this month, leading up to the big announcement of the A-Team At 30 Prize Pack Giveaway winner!
