When you don't get it.
If you don't "get" it put it here, maybe someone will 'splain it. Lil' Griff is playing for Grease teh musical at a local high school that lacked a drummer. I'd only seen bits and pieces of the movie so I never really followed the story. Um, what's the point of this story?

That's the boy love girl/girl loves boy, but society is keeping them apart story. Will they get together by the end? Yes, they will! Because she changes for him. But he was willing to change for her too. So there's a little O'Henry thrown in as well.
But you asked for a point. The point is: If you change who you are, you can find love. |

Or in a slightly nicer spin, the cliques that you base yourself on in high school are not real, and to find love you have to admit who you really are and risk not being exactly like all your friends.

Grease is the word, man. Obviously you've never been a 12 year old girl. Seriously, I love Grease, and my young nieces love it too. It's timeless. Its meaning can be summed up by the title song:
I solve my problems and I see the light We got a lovin' thing, we gotta feed it right There ain't no danger we can go to far We start believing now that we can be who we are Grease is the word They think our love is just a growing pain Why don't they understand, It's just a crying shame Their lips are lying only real is real We stop the fight right now, we got to be what we feel Grease is the word it's the word that you heard It's got groove it's got meaning Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion Grease is the way we are feeling We take the pressure and we throw away Conventionalitly belongs to yesterday There is a chance that we can make it so far We start believing now that we can be who we are Grease is the word It's got groove it's got meaning Grease is the time, is the place is the motion Grease is the way we are feeling This is the life of illusion Wrapped up in trouble laced with confusion What are we doing? We take the pressure and we throw away Conventionality belongs to yesterday There is a chance that we can make it so far We start believing now that we can be who we are Grease is the word It's got groove it's got meaning Grease is the time, is the place is the motion Grease is the way we are feeling |

Hah! I had a big Sandy poster in my room over my bed. I LOVED Olivia Newton John in 5th grade.

It was set during the 50s. Everybody smoked:
ROSEANNE CONNER We shouldn't even be sitting here watching TV. TV's the whole way my whole generation learned to smoke anyhow. JACKIE HARRIS Oh, come on. ROSEANNE CONNER It's true, Jackie. Lucy smoked, Desi smoked, Ward smoked, Make Room for Daddy smoked, Gomez and Morticia smoked, Maxwell Smart smoked, 99, the Chief, Hymie—and he was a robot, but he smoked. Patty smoked. JACKIE HARRIS Cathy didn't. ROSEANNE CONNER I know, but they made her into a huge nerd. Rob smoked, Laura smoked, Buddy, Sally, Jerry, Millie smoked. I don't know about Samantha, but both Darrins smoked. |
