Nobody Puts Baby In a Corner

It was 20 years ago that the movie "Dirty Dancing" hit the theaters. Patrick Swayze played bad-boy Johnny Castle and Jennifer Grey played Baby, an innocent uptown girl. The movie was a huge hit and even today many continue to watch it. I remember seeing it and pondering the different themes woven in the film. You had a time period where families vacationed together for weeks. You had an innocent girl experiencing love for the first time. Dirty Dancing also dealt with illegal abortion and teen rebellion. Then of course there's the music and the dancing. James and Julia Derbyshire used the final dance scene in the movie for their first dance at their wedding reception in 2005. She posted it on YouTube last year and it's been viewed over a million times. See it here at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYhlm9GTAQ0 Target has come out with a line of products including t shirts. Also a new musical "Dirty Dancing: The Classic Story on Stage" launched in Australia in 2004 and is scheduled to be in Toronto next year. Pat's already telling me we have to go to Toronto to see it. Many people have "had the time of their lives" with Dirty Dancing. These are the days my friend.
