Sheridonian: I saw Xanadu in the theater with Kathy the night John Lennon was killed.
We got out of the theater and I dropped her off at her home. Then I went over to my friend Paul's house and we called our friend Bruce, who was going to school at the University of Nebraska. While we were on the phone with him, somebody told him that John Lennon was dead. Paul and I rushed to turn on the radio, and every station we turned to was playing Imagine. "That's not good,"we thought.

D4rw1n: That is one of my first big pop-culture crushes dead. It hits you differently when they used to live on your bedroom wall
b1: I respect your loss...

Special K: When I was little, my brother told me Olivia Newton-John was married to Elton John. Of course I believed him.
D4rw1n: Haha great.
Catherine Zeta Jones was married to Tom Jones
Margaret Bourke white was married to the Supreme Court Justice Byron 'Whizzer' White...
...Who was previously married to Lord Byron
Also it is a little-known fact that boxer Roberto Duran was father of Duran Duran
Julia Louis Dreyfus, wife of Captain Alfred Dreyfus (but not involved in the eponymous affair)
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is married to noted conquistador Hernan Cortez
And in a weird naming twist, Paula Abdul was married to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for a short time
<editor addendum from http://www.outofthepastblog.com/2019/08/xanadu.html?m=1
Very little of <Xanadu> makes sense and the only reasons you should be watching it are for Gene Kelly, Olivia Newton-John, music by the Electric Light Orchestra, a couple of the musical numbers and to take a time travel trip back to 1980's SoCal.
As if you need any more reasons.>
