Let's Hear it For the Authors

I was humming that little ditty from Footloose, the original one, when I typed this blog title. You have to improvise a bit to work "authors" into the one syllable spot. When I was in college, the movie came out, the one with Kevin Bacon as rebellious boy Ren MacCormack. It was my sophomore year and I was an RA (Resident Assistant). I attended a Christian college which, at the time, had a "no on-campus dancing policy". No problem; we organized off-campus "rhythmic activities" at the local armory and got our groove on there.

When Footloose came out, it was like our battle cry: there ain't nothin' wrong with dances (if you don't include the fact that I've always had what I consider a rhythmic movement impairment, ie I can't dance). As an RA, I organized a floor activity-- after all that was in my job description-- centered around the Footloose movie. I blared the music from a boombox (quit laughing), served ice cream and we, um, may have participated in some movement that resembled dancing. Maybe.
