« I Blame Kevin Bacon for Menudo »

Kevin Bacon has no shame to his game. And we have all paid the price.

Many years ago Kevin Bacon starred in Footloose, the small-town-teens-just-wanna-dance movie that inspired another group of teen wannabe dancers on the island of Puerto Rico.

Watching Kevin Bacon and his mullet-wearing buddies put on their dancing shoes and, yes, I am sorry, "cut footloose" taught this ragtag bunch of kids an important lesson: if Kevin Bacon could become a star with his weak-ass dance moves, then they could, too, with theirs.

The group they formed was called Menudo, which has since gone on to spawn countless crappy records. And Ricky Martin. Yes, that Ricky Martin. Check the photo below for proof.

Menudo looking especially dope. Ricky Martin's in the middle.

Given all the evidence against him, there can be only one conclusion:

I blame Kevin Bacon for Menudo. And all the pain and suffering, both mental, visual and audio, that Menudo in all its incarnations has inflicted on the rest of us ever since that fateful day they first saw Kevin Bacon perform.
