Cyndi Lauper: We need to end LGBT youth homelessness.

"It’s an election year and there’s a lot of talk about what our nation’s priorities need to be for the next four to eight years. What we have to make sure is not forgotten is the epidemic of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth homelessness. Up to 40 percent of homeless youth identify as LGBT, yet fewer than 7 percent of kids nationwide are LGBT. That discrepancy is outrageous, and it’s something we can’t ignore. That’s why, on April 27, 2016, we will raise our voices for #40toNoneDay: a national day organized by the True Colors Fund to raise public awareness about LGBT youth homelessness."

Most Briefs lists involve the "best" or "greatest" of something, so for a change let's switch it up, as Evil Snicks brings you The 30 Worst Music Videos Of All Time.

You'll see debacles from major musical artists, as well as a few Youtube "stars." Sure, it's really easy to pick on desperate wannabes. It's fun, too. But it proves that terrible can run the gamut from multi-million dollar productions to, well, a certain video named after a day of the week. You know the one.

At #23 is "Tonight's The Night" by Rod Stewart.

"Tonight's The Night" was Rod's 2nd #1 smash in the U.S., and was named Billboard's #1 single of 1977. But the video (to be fair, this was before MTV, so it was still a ... learning process) is wall-to-wall creepiness, with Rod winking at the camera while seducing a faceless blonde. Britt Ekland was Rod's girlfriend at the time, and performs on the song, but I can't tell if that's her in the video, because again, faceless.
