FIFTY!!! Yesterday, Kevin Bacon turned 50... I am at a loss.
Anyone reading this who was a teen in the 80's has to feel my pain. I have seen Footloose at least fifty times and now the star is fifty years old? What is happening to my life. I am a huge Kevin Bacon fan... have seen all his movies, although they all pale in comparison to Footloose. It is a classic. Don't we all know the final dance sequence by heart..."Everybody cut, everbody cut..." you know you are doing it in your head... :)
The 80's were the best.. past, present and future included. We had the best music, the best movies, the best hair (admit it!), perhaps not the best clothes but 3 out of 4 ain't bad. 80's music plays daily on most stations, today's teens are into it, 80's movie marathons regularly play on TV. (Say Anything was on for 24 hours straight a few weeks ago... sweet!) There is no denying it... the 80's ruled... both then and now.
The brat pack is however, shhhh...aging. Molly Ringwald has a new show on ABC Family where she plays the MOM of teens. I prefer to remember her as Samantha in Sixteen Candles, giving her underwear to a geek and falling all over Jake Ryan (which ironically is the name of Miley's love interest on Hannah Montana... hmmm) Some have aged well, like say... Rob Lowe...or Demi Moore (you go girl!) Others, not so much... Anthony Michael Hall (a tad over weight) Emilio (looking a tad bit older than he should) and Judd Nelson (OUCH!)
Anyway... Happy 50th Birthday to Kevin Bacon. I wonder what Ren McCormack would be doing at 50... If Corey Haim and Corey Feldman can make a Lost Boys sequel after twenty years (they are...seriously), I think Footloose 2 could be a blockbuster!
