RIP Patrick Swayze

How many more great icons of the great '80s must be taken before you are pleased, oh great gods of the '80s?



Yet another one gone. A man that brought joy to almost everyone I know with his fantastic roles in Dirty Dancing, Ghost, Road House and Donnie Darko (OK that last one didn't exactly bring joy, but he was still awesome in it). A man that I never read a bad word about - a true rarity in Hollywood. A man that fought through to the end and showed great courage.

What will it take, oh great gods of the '80s, for you to stop stealing the ones we admire? I can only hope you are preparing for an eternal 80's party in the afterlife, so Swayze and MJ are now working on some dance steps.

So long, Patrick Swayze. May you always live on in your work.
And when you tell me to choose love instead of fear, or to not put baby in the corner, I say "Ditto"
