Footloose Turns 40 Tomorrow, Check Out the Oklahoma Town That Inspired It
February 17th, 1984. Footloose premieres in theaters and this crazy plot has Oklahoma roots. I had no idea this movie was based off of a somewhat true story. If you have never seen Footloose, the plot is simple. Ren McCormack (played by Kevin Bacon) moves to the town of Bomont which has banned rock music and dancing in the town. I was not a kid of the 80's, so when I heard about the plot of this movie, I thought it was the dumbest thing ever. Turns out, this was real thing that happened in Oklahoma and Hollywood thought it would make an interesting movie.
