Rest assured, VOM. There are no Fs, Mfs, or GDs in my Footloose. There are some "Whoa, Milo's" some "Please Louise's" and the occasional kicking off of the Sunday shoes.
Am I to assume that you are fine with the pot smoking (that was in the original), the underage drinking (that was in the original), the teen sex (that was in the original), and the violence toward women (that was in the original)?

Sam Phillips would like his watch back now.
Ha, ha... this is my favorite negative post so far.
Of course Sam Phillips had to sell Elvis Presley to cover the copyright lawsuit brought on by the Rufus Thomas song "Bear Cat", which was his own remake of Big Mama Thorton's "Hound Dog"... but... I get your point.
And it wasn't his watch. It was his ring. But kudos. That was a witty comment.
in response to parkpro: It's a shame that ripoff artist Mike McCarthy (a man who never met an idea he didn't steal) is jacking over the man who has kept Sivad's memory alive. Artist/filmmaker Tom Foster has produced indie shows every Halloween for years dedicated to Sivad as a pop-culture icon. Now, Mike McCarthy won't even let Tom into the show's program. But then again, Mike McCarthy is an insider now and can tap into taxpayer money, unlike Tom Foster, who has never asked for a dime from anybody.

"Mike McCarthy is an insider now." I'm just trying to bend my mind around that.
I was with him last night while he was working on an original script, and also trying to figure out where his next job was coming from. I had no idea Mike was living high on the hog, dipping into "taxpayer money." Lord have mercy! Is he funding his underground, guerilla films with my hard earned tax dollars? Is there no decency? Is there no law?
I remember Mike telling me about wanting to do a festival about Sivad for years. He loves Sivad. I even have a framed picture of Sivad that McCarthy gave to me as a birthday gift. But ever since he started this endeavor, everyone is questioning his motives.
Let me tell you something about Mike McCarthy. He cares. He cares about Memphis people, places, and histories that most of Memphis has forgotten about or never really cared for in the first place. I have art by Tom Foster. Of course he is a Memphis treasure. But why the hell should Mike be punished for trying to get something going? Is this just more of that Memphis, bucket-full-of-crabs, hating? I think so.
You know another scandalous thing about Mike McCarthy? He signs his own name to things. Just like I do, parkpro.
