...Italian neighborhood of Bensonhurst in Brooklyn. But he pinpoints the real birth of the Guido subculture to the 1970s. If the movement has any guiding icon, it's young John Travolta and his many incarnations: Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever, Vinnie Barbarino in Welcome Back, Kotter and Danny Zuko in Grease. Today, there are message boards for self-described Guidos and Guidettes to chatter (www.njguido.com). "It's a way to be a part of popular culture for kids who aren't invited to the party," Tricarico says. "It is defiant. It's identity politics," he explains...

...High School Musical on the Disney Channel, and they weren't very thrilled with it. But they were eager to hear about Grease. All of them had watched the reality show, and though a few thought that Derek should have beaten out Max for the role of Danny Zuko, they were dying to see the Broadway revival.
