telaryn...in perspective.
So Robin and I had the opportunity to catch an uncut airing of "Footloose" this morning. To put it in context, this movie came out when I was almost exactly the same age Robin is now - sixteen.
And for me, in 1984, it was one of those generation defining movies. Paraphrasing Ren McCormack - it was our time to dance.
Anyway, we get to *the* dance scene - if you've seen the movie, you know the one. The big one in the mill.
The one Kevin Bacon didn't actually do.
Robin starts giggling uncontrollably. I feign outrage: "Why are you laughing? I'll have you know that was seriously hot stuff back in the 80's!"
Her: "I'm sorry...all I'm seeing is epileptic seizure!"
