Xanadu

During lunch today, the background music was Olivia Newton-John's theme song to Xanadu, the cheesey film dedicated to skating rinks and finding your muse.

honestly? however you interpret it is what's right for you. it's like poems, movies, Shakespeare, good or bad literature... the message you take from it is what it means to you. just because someone doesn't get the same message doesn't mean you took the wrong meaning.

that being said, i think Xanadu is fluffy, but with great music and a light-handed message. (and roller skating! i was a roller skating queen back in The Day.) Xanadu is a representation of old meets new and how they aren't incompatible the way many people assume. sometimes all you need is a little push of inspiration and it all works out in the end.

now what they need is a sequel! Xanadu 2: The Muse Strikes Back. (then again... maybe not. *lol*)
