John Hughes, R.I.P.

Two days ago, John Hughes passed from a sudden heart attack at the age of 59. This dude is single-handedly responsible for everything that was cool and funny in the 80's. More so than the beloved status that his high school epics receive, these movies put teens in the forefront, showing the world that young people have a voice and that that voice wants to be heard. Hughes was also responsible for some of the best work John Candy ever did. In honor of this brilliant man, here's an ode to his fine fine films. i couldn't think of a better song to go along with them than "Baba O'Riley" by The Who.



Here's to you, John. I hope you and Candy are partying it up somewhere.
