#WE ARE KEVIN BACON

On Saturday we did a LOT of driving (8 hours in total), and one of the things we listened to in the car was the Footloose Broadway musical soundtrack. The kids wanted to know what it was about, so I gave them a brief rundown of the plot, starting with the fact that it's about a teenage boy who moves from a big city to a small town and immediately gets branded as a troublemaker... Well... I made it all the way until "Somebody's Eyes Are Watching" before I couldn't contain myself anymore and turned to Husband and said, "You know what this makes me think of? ...Jess in Stars Hollow." And sometimes I'm a little embarrassed about this "Six Degrees from Jess Mariano" game that my brain keeps playing, but my Husband's response was: "You know, I was thinking the exact same thing."

It made me so happy. 😂

Hey y'all Chris Colfer has a Kevin Bacon number of 1 because they were both in 8 by Dustin Lance Black in 2012. In case this information would be useful to anybody.

actually, there's no need for an updated "we didn't start the fire", or a modern version of the song that follows its structure beat-for-beat. "summer girls" by lfo is like the spiritual successor to "we didn't start the fire", but it's a terrible 90s love song, so no one's ever gonna be ready for that conversation

quite frankly the guardians of the galaxy holiday special was cute and all but they absolutely wasted the opportunity to make a joke about how Kevin Bacon is actually already in the MCU.

Well, partly. But this is a friendly reminder that Kevin Bacon played Sebastian Shaw in X-Men: First Class (2011). He played a villainous mutant and now that the mutants are canon...I'm just saying. Wasted opportunity.

My dad’s review of my second draft: “should we be worried about you?”

His review of my final draft: “wow, that was disturbing!”

Have you considered: Stranger Things Footloose AU?????

Nancy as Ariel but in this case the preacher is Karen and Ted is simply not relevant.

Jonathan is the new kid who comes blowing through town and shakes things up.

Steve cannot dance to save his life alright let’s give him credit for trying his best though.

In this version Robin sings “let’s hear it for the Boy” but in the most platonic way humanly possible and if you’ve ever heard of a song that describes him better please send me a letter with a self-addressed stamped envelope and I will send you…idk a rare Star Wars paperback or something.

Side ramble about how Ethan Hawke is not Kevin Bacon but could make a cameo anyway? Idk don’t @ me on this one.

Insert tragic backstory here. Ted left after they lost Nancy’s completely made-up older brother. And that’s sad but maybe Karen should still ease up a little.

And it all ends with a beautiful dance because Jonathan was right Music IS a gift, actually, and they shouldn’t have to travel to Indianapolis to dance together. Or something. I haven’t seen this movie or musical in at least a decade.

The end thank you for attending this week’s edition of : things that would make a better Stranger Things play than whatever the Duffels are about to put on stage and also why is it going up in London first?!

the maxxxine cast announcement is going to be the only thing i think about for months

Best of 2022 Music #24: Kevin Bacon and Old 97’s “Here it Is Christmastime”

Peter Quill has had quite a run. It is fitting that in another genius move, James Gunn brings the magic of Christmas to the denizens of Knowhere.

Such as the case as while struggling with a gift Drax and Mantis go to LA to bring Peters personal hero Kevin Bacon back in order to surprise him.

And although he was not as advertised, Kevin Bacon can do one thing .

Surprisingly sing as he joins with alien versions of Old 97s in remixing a new holiday jaunt.

Magic indeed which is given greater depth with the gift scene.

Well done Marvel.

SUM 22: Kevin Bacon proves his chops in a role other than hero, with this new Yuletide festive jam. Makes me want to try peach pie personally.
