Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

A Bad Influence

So I was watching TMF earlier, and the video for Footloose by Kenny Loggins came on. Ok, nothing wrong so far. Angst ridden Kevin Bacon with 80s hair - check. Dancing - check. Alcohol - check. Car - check. Cigarette dangling from lips - fail.

So its ok to show a angst ridden teenager drinking and driving, but not smoking. Holding a cigarette yes. Putting it to his lips, no. Strangely enough, this also happened to Sandy later when singing You're The One That I Want. She appeared to be sucking on a small cloud, but as she removed it, it was replaced by a cigarette which she threw to the floor.

Curiouser and uriouser said Alice, presumably whilst not smoking.
