Patrick Swayze Dies


Sad news. Partick Swayze died today. He was only 57. The internet will be full of biographies on the guy. To me, he seemed different than most of what Hollywood pushes off as star material. The guy was talented. If you saw him in Dirty Dancing, you'd know - the guy could dance! And act? He convinced me that his character was a tough New York kid. And Roadhouse, where he played a bouncer. His famous line in the hospital emergency room, to the lady doctor (Kelly Lynch) who was treating him, "Pain don't hurt." Guys, feel free to use that line. It worked for Swayze.

I liked the guy. He'll be missed.
