On Friday night Darlene Love closed out a three-decade run of performing her holiday classic on The Late Show. Via Rolling Stone: The tradition began in 1986 when Love first performed “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” on Letterman’s Late Night program on NBC, and while a small four-piece band backed the “He’s a Rebel” singer for that rendition, the size …

A coalition of the Texas pastors has launched a website in support of the campaign to place a repeal of Plano’s LGBT rights ordinance to a public vote.
