Vaya Con Dios, Brah

I thought it appropriate to briefly comment on the passing of the great Patrick Swayze.

While his untimely death is obviously a tragedy unto itself, I think the greater tragedy is the fact that every headline noting his death will somehow reference Dirty Dancing. "Nobody puts Baby in a corner." Yeah, we get it.

The true Patrick Swayze aficionados in my blog readership know that his first cinematic triumph was as Dalton, the nationally known bouncer with a PhD in philosophy and a friendship with Sam Elliot in "Road House."


"Take the biggest guy in the world, shatter his knee, and he'll drop like a stone."


The second, of course, is so obvious that it needs no mention.


Godspeed Bohdi
