LG - I thought the same thing. Their kids music is actually enjoyable (actually I enjoy all their music). But you know, my 2½ year old doesn't know the difference, so I'll keep listening. They're too fun.

'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' Writer Dies

Songwriter and musician Robert Hazard, who wrote the 1983 Cyndi Lauper hit "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," died Tuesday after a brief illness, his record label said in a statement. He was 59.

Hazard's widow Susan told The Philadelphia Inquirer that Hazard passed away unexpectedly after surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.

The musician – who led the Philadelphia band Robert Hazard and the Heroes in the 1980s – released his last album, Troubadour, in October. And his iconic hit song made a comeback recently: Miley Cyrus covered the track on her new album, Breakout.

Most people probably don't remember Robert Hazard....anyone less than 40 probably never have heard of him in the first place.

I always really liked his song, "Escalator of Life."

Sugarland founder files $1.5M lawsuit against band

Fri Aug 8, 12:27 PM ET

ATLANTA - A founder of the country band Sugarland is suing the two current members of the popular group for $1.5 million.

According to a lawsuit filed late last month in U.S. District Court in Atlanta, Kristen Hall was to get a cut of the group's profits even after she left in 2005 for a solo career. The lawsuit says Hall, who founded the band in 2002, has an agreement with Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush to equally share profits and losses.

Hall says in the lawsuit that she has been excluded from the group's profits since she left.

Sugarland's publicist referred calls to the band's attorney, Gary Gilbert, who was unavailable for comment.

The band's album, "Love on the Inside," released last month, is No. 1 on Billboard music charts.

. I hope they are both happy. I'm glad she's going to put out a new record, and I'm glad he's retiring from bull riding. That's a tough life, being a rodeo cowboy.
