Olivia Newton-John, Forever Sandy in Grease, Dies at Age 73

Sadly, Olivia Newton-John has succumbed to her third bout of breast cancer. Here we remember her extraordinary talent and career.

When we heard that Olivia Newton-John had passed away from breast cancer, we immediately started humming the tune "Have You Never Been Mellow?" We can't figure out why that one, of all her songs, came to us. Couldn't one of the others like, "Summer Nights" or "Hopelessly Devoted to You," moved into the crannies of our cranium instead? Any one of her 11 gold singles would have been better, except "Let's Get Physical." Definitely not "Let's Get Physical."

As the saccharine melody wafts through our brain, we want to pay tribute to the beautiful British-Australian singer who provided the soundtrack for our school years back in the '70s and early '80s, at least when we were feeling sweet and pure. For other times, we'd be blasting the Police or the Eagles.

Yes, Jen Sincero is an Actual Badass In Person

She wrote the book on how to live your life boldly, and in Santa Fe, 14 NextTribers had the chance to hear Jen Sincero’s blunt, sassy words of wisdom.

When your kid leaves for college, it’s not the end of anything. It’s the beginning of a long, tortured process that may or may not lead to an empty nest.

Or maybe it was pheromones. Or a birthday wish granted. Still, sometimes the planets align and the world sees you differently. As you feel inside.

We raise our glass to the Veuve Clicquot widow, the first modern businesswoman who gave us champagne and launched countless celebrations.
