Damn THIS story; it made me sing "Footloose" all day. Believe me getting caught singing a Kenny Loggins' song in the elevator by a group of your peers isn't fun. It's inexcusable really. Singing Kenny Loggins. Even in the 80s I'm sure it was inexcusable. Come to think of it maybe it wasn't. After all Corey Hart was taken seriously in the 80s and so was Billy Ocean. But what did the 80s know? Actually the more that I think about it the more I think that the 80s were pretty square. The only worthwhile things produced during the decade were Rocky 3, Pac-Man, Rio and Krystal Steal.
But what about that damn story?
What damn story? Oh the one about the kids "freak dancing" in California. Man I wish that they had "freak dancing" when I was in high school (I might have actually gone to a dance instead of playing Advanced D and D with my buddies and arguing about who was tougher: Beast Master or Conan). All we had was Lambada: the forbidden dance, which, like Zima, was always lame. But these kids nowadays have it so much better. The internet alone has made it better. It's made researching a paper and finding pornography so much easier. Plus they've got "Freak Dancing!" And now this principal wants to put an end to all of their fun. Seriously if this doesn't scream Footloose to you then I'm Kenny Loggins.

OK – A couple of comments here. First and most important. You neglected the coolest thing 1980’s:
The Fabulous Thunderbirds.
Which reminds me of that guy who sings that lame song in Dirty Dancing. (I had the time of my life….)
Which reminds me of this article I read on CNN……
A least on the elevator today, I’ll be caught singing “Ain’t that tough enough”.
Much cooler than Kenny Loggins.
Did I have a point?
Yes I did have a point. Krystal Steal has the coolest voice in the world. Wouldn't it be cool if she were the voice on The Enterprise instead of that lame voice they use now?
Thanks "T" I was singing "Ain't that Tough Enough" all day. My co-workers hate you.
As for Ms. Steal, I think they should have her replace the whole damn computer on Trek and let her grace the screen for the entire lengnth of each episode. No joke. The franchise has become as tired a Corey Hart joke and it doesn't seem like it will get better any time soon. Give me Kirk or give me death!
Corey Hart was a rock and roll god. The man wore his frickin' sunglasses at night. AT NIGHT!!!
