I don’t know about you all, but there are many, many moments of my childhood that involve Patrick Swayze. Sure, I didn’t know him personally, but for every time I used the quote, ‘Nobody puts Baby in the corner’, it was like I did. To this day I have my pets names picked out – a dog named Bodhi and a cat named Johnny Utah…’Utah, I’ll take two!’
In these last couple years when he was fighting pancreatic cancer he worked on the A&E show ‘The Beast’ (which filmed a scene near my parents house and of course my Mom calls, ‘who’s that cute guy who dances a lot – he’s down the street’) and was strong in public while fighting this horrible disease.
You can obviously never know a person by the movies they did, but this guy just seemed like a solid, legit guy.
Rest in Peace, Johnny Castle.

Johnny Castle gets a shout-out, but not the memory of 9/11 victims. Nice. Very nice.
While I respect the 9/11 victim’s, i think that comment is just uncalled for, 9/11 victim’s have been talked about and will be talked about long after patrick Swayze is a distant memory…
RIP DUDE …
9/11 victims will be talked about. Just not on this site. SXSW, yes. 9/11, not so much.
