Some, like Mick Jagger, never grow up. Some turn into the soccer coach. And them some, like in Grease, end up with Olivia Newton John. But those memories in high school of the secret trips to building behind the school , all that cigarette smoke, well that was good stuff. No one told us about second hand smoke then, so it was a first hand experience of tasting the forbidden fruit. And it was fantastic. Who didn’t have a secret crush on James Dean? That’s why he’s still a male icon.

The girls that were in that group usually didn’t have the same effects on guys. Most of the time the handsome jocks would turn away from the girls in the tight sweaters that hung around with the greasers. They were tough talking and hard living. Rizzo knew her place….but Sandy….well she just couldn’t resists a little Travolta on the side. Let’s face it — the bad boys have always had their following . That misunderstood rebel with dreamy eyes and the tight jeans…he’ll always have a following. .

We love the bad boys.
