  Getting rid of things in preparation for my July 1 move has been more difficult than I thought it would be.
  I don’t need all the stuff I have. But I’m finding it hard to part with things, even though I know that when I get everything pared down I’ll feel a sense of relief.
  When I got divorced nine years ago and moved out of my house and into this apartment, leaving things behind was easy. Almost everything I owned, right down to my pasta strainer, reminded me of my failed

• Review: Footloose — La comédie musicale cuts loose from original movie

  28-06-2017 23:26 via montrealgazette.com
  
  The English Puritans, so the old joke goes, banned people from fornicating standing up because it might lead to dancing. Such unhinged panic over the link between sex and cutting a rug was the basis of the 1984 movie Footloose (re-made in 2011), in which a big city teen finds himself in a Hicksville hell where dancing is banned. A preposterous premise for a modern-day story, one might think, until you read that the movie was based on the real-life example of Elmore City in Oklahoma.
