ALAN THICKE CO-WRITES JORDAN KNIGHT TUNE

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- Former New Kid on the Block Jordan Knight is hot on the comeback trail and he may owe a small debt to another '80s icon: Alan Thicke. Believe it or not, the former "Growing Pains" star co-wrote a song with his son titled "Separate Ways" which appears on Knight's new hit CD. Thicke says his son, Robin, asked him to help write the lyrics for the tune which deals with two people in conflict. The early Father's Day gift turned out to be a family affair when Thicke's other son, Brennan, helped with the music. Although not all sons can work with their dads, Thicke says he made sure his sons knew that if his lyrics were lame, he would accept their criticism and would simply write new ones. Music isn't Thicke's only passion these days. His latest project is a new book, "How Men Have Babies: The Pregnant Father's Survival Guide" (NTC Contemporary).
