80's Movie Weekend



Has Morgan Freeman ever been in a bad movie? It's a legitimate question. Today's 80's flashback takes us back to East Central High in 1989 when Joe Clark (Freeman) took over the reigns. East Side High was very much like my high school in Norman, Oklahoma... practically identical with all the graffiti and drugs and fighting. Wow, this true movie hits so close to home. Anyway, it's a great movie if you've never seen it. Morgan Freeman stars in "Lean on Me"...
