R.I.P. Olivia.
I grew up on Grease. And Olivia was Caryn’s (my ex-girlfriend of 7 years) next-door-neighbor.
Super sad.
Grease is a great movie (and I hate musicals). Conceptually a lot of the movie resonated with me later on in life.
Danny (John Travolta) falls in love with Sandy (Olivia Newton-John) on a summer break, but when they go back to school, he had to be one of the boys. Too cool for school. He had to treat her mean to be cool with the guys and it crushes her.
I’ve been there so many times since. I’ve sometimes loved being with a girl in isolation, but mentally was unable to stop thinking about what others would thought about her and I together.
