The only thing surprising about this is people seeing who's made the video and are somehow surprised how it turned out? o_O

You gotta wonder what people are thinking. Everything's worth a try, but not everything's worth releasing. Sometimes you gotta say "Fuck it. That didn't really turn out like I expected", and scrap the project.


1. They both probably made $500K just for walking in the door, the 1st day of shooting.

2. There is plenty of money in nostalgia. ONJ, who looks NOTHING like the hot chick from Grease, just gave a concert in my city. 30K seat arena, sold out. o_O Apparently there are PLENTY of 60-year old grandmas who never threw out their Jordache jeans from the 1980's that think they are "still as hot as ONJ."

WTF is up with Travolta's old school GI-Joe doll hair!


So many jealous people in here just like they are jealous of me.

Speaking of me, John and Kelly

You know this was Olivia's idea and John went along with it because she's a friend and he don't care if he looks like a retard since he's a gazillionaire. Olivia probably thinks this shit is really cool and was worthy of being released to the public.

There is probably something to that, too. Since Pulp Fiction, John Travolta has had a non-stop string of odd parts in movies where he acts like a nutbag, which tells me he is a bit odd in the first place. This video would fit right up his alley.

I see what they were trying to do. They're trying to make "Grease 30 years later" music.

It didn't work. Came off as really awkward and forced.

Oddly, the song itself isn't that bad. I could see someone like Allison Krauss pulling it off with a bit of rearranging.
