Although I didn’t grow up to be a singer or an actor, it turns out that John Travolta and I have other things in common…. I was totally infatuated by John Travolta and swore that when I grew up I would be exactly like him, in every way. When I was 10-years-old I dressed up like Danny Zuko for a 6-month period and forced all family members, neighbours and school friends to watch me re-inact every moment and song from the 255 minute long movie.
I can’t recall the first time that I watched the 1978 film Grease but I do know that when I look back on my childhood, “You’re the one that I want” is the song playing over my montage of memories.
