There's just something about dance...
It's like a primal thing in all of us.

Patrick Swayze

I was so sad yesterday evening to learn of Patrick Swayze's death. I loved his movies of course but also ever interview I had watched with his, especially recently, just portrayed a good man. At least now he is at peace and in no pain.

No matter what I will always rock onto the balls of my feet when I hear the first few beats of I've Had the Time of My Life and think of hand thrown pottery when Unchained Melody plays.

...and of course you have to appreciate a man who would poke fun at himself too (or wear drag like in To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar)! This was my father's favorite:

My BIL worked on the set of To Wong Fu and got to meet him. Thanks for the memories Patrick!

You are so right; this has struck me as being so sad. I love that clip too! The man could dance!

I just loved Dirty Dancing in middle school. My heart breaks for his wife and family and friends.
