Today is your day Boomer! Another influential Baby Boomer has passed away....73-year-old Olivia Newton-John, who as a singer, dancer, and heartthrob in my formative years, died in California this week. You and I likely remember her most from the 1978 musical "Grease" where she starred with John Travolta and entralled us with songs like "Hopelessly Devoted","You're the One That I Want" and "Greased Ligntning"! Critics say it was one of the best musicals of all time and really appealed to the younger generation. ONJ could look so young and innocent in one scene and then all sexy and glittery in the next song. She also had other big hits like "Physical" and won four Grammy Awards. One other thing. She suffered from breast cancer twice in her life and became a spokesperson and fundraiser for the world cancer cause. She will be missed.....but we can always catch her and Johnny on YouTube or Netflix dancing around cars and high school gyms, anytime we want. Boomers, cheers to Olivia!
