Her official Facebook page announces the death of Olivia Newton-John from cancer. She was 73.
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.

I saw in Forest Hills on what I think was the Physical tour. I knew far more songs than I expected!

So tonight we watched Grease and I was willing to actually pay for it but it was free

Bless your heart Olivia, and this was such a well-casted movie
Never understood why Sandy had to change though since Danny loved her the way she was

My mom always hated how she had to become "slutty" to be accepted at the end.

The first song of hers that got airplay was LET ME BE THERE, and there were some male backing vocals on that song which led me to think it was from a group
rather than an individual. I thought the DJs were telling me it was from a trio named Olivia, Newt, and John.

Yes, I'm serious.

So Olivia Newton-John was a 29-year-old teenager when filming Grease. And Travolta was 24.

I figured a career as high-profile as hers had to have a Mets connection, but this was the best I could find

Blame GREASE.
Or maybe blame Greece, although I doubt they had anything to do with it.
