She was both, wasn't she?
If I recall my ancient history correctly, she was in the movie Fame, and sung
the title song (with the line "I wanna live forever . . . .")
And she sang the most popular song to come out of Flashdance. What a Feeling
was the main line, and maybe the title (not the other popular song to come out
of that movie "She's a Maniac.")
After that, I think she was never heard from again.
Anyway, we better go back to talking about Gator sports; I never even saw the
movie Flashdance. As the character Jim Ignatowski -- from the old television
series Taxi -- once said "I do have my moments [of mental clarity], but they
don't come without a price."
By the way, this stroll down Memory Lane has reminded me that we haven't heard
much from Leon. I hope he is okay.
Go Gators!!!!

Irene Cara wasn't Flashdance. She was Fame. :-)
I missed Helen Reddy, and I'm glad. LOL.

It is for the Blue Key producers. They need to not offend their future
employers. Many alumni still consider Growl part of indoctrinating their young
into Gatorhood. And the kiddies can't see Mommy & Daddy laugh at the vulgar
jokes. I know one Blue Key alum who had a limo driver on call to take his 15 yo
daughter and her friends away from Growl when the comedians came on for a
frat/sorority row tour. And that was 2 years ago!
Ken is right, Bob Hope was invited back because he was so well received the
first time. The problem was he was filming it for a TV special and he actually
asked the audience to react better as he repeated jokes. And repeated, and
repeated. Then he chastised us for not singing along with his guest, Irene Cara
(Flashdance). The TV crew was getting the audience singing along, but Hope &
Cara could not hear that mid-field. They did hear the BOOS after Hope's
berating of the audience.
One of my friends got married the day of Hope's second appearance. They had
the Hilton suite next to Bob Hope. They said he was on his balcony for several
hours post-Growl asking his producers why he could not hear that the audience
was laughing and singing along. (What a wedding night memory...)
The worst Growl ever, in my opinion, was Helen Reddy. I've only missed one
since 1963. (I think it was Howie Mandel.)

Sloan said Carvey is a choice that alumni can trust not to be vulgar.
Hmm. As an alumnus, I'd be thrilled to listen to Robin Williams; vulgar or
not.
Is this really the same concern that it was in the 80s?
