If you were a teen during the 80s, it was hard to not fall in love with some of his movies, including Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, and Pretty in Pink. When I was talking about (500) Days of Summer, I almost reference Hughes' undeniable influences on the movie and soundtrack, but I did not want to make that assumption since I haven't seen the movie.
Not really much to add to the news, but apparently he was visiting families in Manhattan and suffered a heart attack during a morning walk.
As you know, I am a huge fan of popular culture, and I did grow up and fondly remember these movies. Some of them, in particular the Pretty in Pink soundtrack, introduced me to a world of alternative music.

 Set List ♥ Arcadia, Minneapolis (09/04/08) |
The Acadia sits across the 400 Bar, but you wouldn't know it was called the Acadia as the signage reads "RIVERSIDE". I've seen this place from the outside through its numerous large windows and looking in at the band on stage.
I don't know how often these "Diverse Emerging Music Organization" (DEMO) shows goes on, but they seem to operate on donations and benefits local artists. I caught the last few songs of Backstories, a full band and all nicely dressed. I don't really know the band's back stories (haha), I'll bet they get that a lot. They have some songs available for download on their myspace.
Eli Ratner said it was his first time playing (I thought he meant his first gig ever), but I guess he meant at the Acadia. He seems really comfortable on stage with his acoustic guitar. It would seem, according to his myspace, that he's normally a duo with Peter VonDeLinde.
It's clear that the real star is Leerone, who earlier in the day appeared in St Paul's Station 4. The report I got was that her keyboard "got messed up" and she ended up renting a full Yamaha keyboard.
Her set was understandably short, lasting no more than 45 minutes, and included a "made up" a cappella song that's not written on the set list.
Highlight of the show seems to be the announcer calling her "Leeroni" and "Leerona".
PS, more details later, including pictures and art.
