My Deep Dark Secret About Kevin Bacon

I have a confession to make. I've never seen the movie Footloose. Nope. Never. I did once see a little blip of it where Kevin Bacon is stomping around a warehouse being mad and having 80's flashbacks of people with really big hair, but to be honest his dancing kinda looked more like he was having an epileptic fit during a gymnastics routine, so I was not inclined to really see the movie in its entirety.

Call me an uncouth hillbilly rube, but that's the truth. Kevin Bacon does nothing for me.

No, not even when he's flopping around on a dirty warehouse floor, doing backwards rolls to express his anger.

I know, I don't know what's wrong with me either.

Kevin Bacon or not, you need to see that movie. You could probably just stream it on Netflix.
I've never seen the whole thing all the way through, either, so I have no idea what the big fuss is about. This is a fact that my husband finds completely unfathomable. He's not sure how I've made it this far in life.

Ah, Sweetie, generational differences that take away the fun of the movie is to blame. After all, when was the last time you popped in your cassette, smoked your cancer sticks and danced in your Keds till you were sweaty? But it has a great anti-establishment message that is timeless. You need a double header-Footloose and Flashdance. They are of the same genre and fun in a 'funky' way. Watch Flashdance first to get you in the whole big-hair mood then move on to Footloose. You may feel differently then. Your welcome. ;)
I think I know what we're going to do on my next visit . . . FOOTLOOSE!

You gotta watch it at least once.

And have you seen the I think "kevin bacon's biggest fan" commercials. Best commercial on tv right now! (Though I've forgotten what it's for)
