Spending a lot of time squiring the offspring around. They have discovered snowboarding, which gives me a great excuse to sit in a loud, smoky ski lodge and read and drink mediocre coffee for hours.
At the moment I'm at a remote location, as my modem is on the fritz, of course right before a long weekend. Therefore, excessive bandwidth will ensue. Will catch up on email next week....
"Is there gas in the car?" "Where did you get those shoes?" "So you live around here?" "Where did the bastard run? Is he still around?"
||||--Great list, but how could you leave out "inner boner"? That will be, I fear, one of my favorite non-sequitur-chuckles-in-the-middle-of-a-meeting for the indefinite future.
Blaise--see above. Now you tell me you don't like me by inclusion in the blanket dance-music dis. I am hurt. BTW: be careful what you quote from the Net: that Rosa Luxembourg (ahem, I used to be a fan of hers & in the '70's read a fair amount of her stuff) was posted on stormfront.com, a white supremacist filth spew. The clue: Anything called "Jew Watch" is a dead giveaway for the presence of neonazis.
SoulMonkey--I have kin there. Maybe we could have a cap at Hawley-Cooke next visit?
Hegel--lol.
allan, Bry2--welcome.
Q--almost exactly my list, except i'd replace "My Rival" w/ TWM.
Rindy--You bad, bad person--getting my hopes inflamed again for a Y2K+1 tour! Great DanRelatedEncounter of the first kind. PS--another JJ fan here.
Jim#--dug your post. I can see St. Al in a virtual kiosk with the hat, the t-shirt, the watch, the gag glasses, the shoes.... "Getya Dan ratcheer!"
St. Al--You ANGEL you!!! The shirt is GREAT, and that other thing, well, my thanks are INEXPRESSIBLE!
Hoops!--You ANOTHER ANGEL you!!! Loved it. Squared.
Gina--Yellow may not be my color, but now I'm wearing it proudly, with my fave dancing shoes--Converse All-Stars. BTW--what tune was Betty Carter sampled in? I've written before that she's one of my all-time greatest heroes--I'd love to know. (It was like listening to De La Soul's new cd and suddenly hearing Rahsaan's "The Inflated Tear" sampled--wow)
tones--great post. We may have been simulwatching "Making of Aja." What a pleasure. I saw Los Lobos here in a very small club a couple of years back--stage-hugged and was blown away.
YGK--great to talk w/ you, man. I am WAY in for DanFest NYC R&RHOF. Whichever weekend--it sounds like the 22nd & ff. is the ticket. Let me know.
Aus--maybe you can do a simulsneak during the Induction on the Net, if we're not partying that night in NYC.
wormtom--talk to me about JazzDanFest 4/27 weekend. I'm already slated to come there, Permasqueeze in tow.
RS--I've seen a lot of bronchitis, and yours cuter than any of 'em.
z--heavens no, and did you forget that pinch of lecithin? It'll keep the Deludin down. TecMo--see JWMalibu's post below. The Technicolor Motorhome Series, of which the upcoming is the second, is a compilation cd of DanFan original offerings most generously produced and distributed by the bodacious JDub. You MUST send a little something. PS, I always felt that way about "Do It Again"--it sends me into a trancelike state--so what you said about it & KOB is perfect.
Happy New Everything to everyone. Be safe, but kick it out, get muellered, rave on, and sheathe your chainsaws.

Back to the roots, indeed, Gina. I bought Kenny Burrell's "Midnight Blue" yesterday, who was introduced to me by Stevie Ray Vaughan, and I am loving every cool minute of it. It sets the mood for a relaxing Sunday like nothing else.

Gina, you're barely three years older than me and I feel

Welcome to the New Millenium and this time, it's for real. Yours hits at 3pm
pacific. Tell us how it feels, please.
Looked out my window and couldn't see anything so I figured a blizzard hit last
night.
Then I looked in this other window and found out I was right:

Free Internet!
And Internet 2!
Reminder for the new millenium: originally designed for national defense purposes, this information-communication technology here is still, until further notice to the contrary, PUBLIC property so Mr. Gates and such, hands off this poppy seed cake. Hush, we're communing here. Besides, it might damage your complexion.
2000 - What a year it's been. The
kind of year it takes a decade to get over... No matter what anyone out there
says, it was definitely the year of the Dan. Never a dull moment. Think about
it...
A brand spanking new studio album, a kickass televised special on PUBLIC
broadcasting, a televised special on that kiddie porn channel we call VH1, a
succesful Japuseuro tour, a compilation to end all compilations not to mention
numerous signs of recognition collected along the way like ASCAP, that cute
little school award and a secured corner in the HOF museum... 2000 was worth the
wait.
Now such a PUBLIC presence from the boys spawned Blaise and others here, DVDs, songbooks and yes, boots. A boot from the West Coast, one from the East Coast One from Japan, two from Europe (so far). Beat the boots and don't blink.
Welcome to the new millenium.
Happy new year, cyberfriends in dandom.

as in seconds to what Hutch proclaimed DO BE A STRANGER MORE OFTEN!!!!
Spent quite some time yesterday in
a contemporary CD-store. Lots of vinyl for semi-pro and professional DJ's and
ofcourse numerous to me unknown labels in the techno-electro-drum &
bass-ambient etc. etc department. Felt OLD when I looked at the youngsters
browsing and listening to their music, smoking some dope or chewing mushrooms
(!) to broaden that trance experience ...
But after a while, especially when I found music I could relate to, I didn't
feel that old anymore. In fact, WE know a great deal more of what this world has
to offer in the past, on all kinds of levels. So in a way it's spooky to look at
those youngsters and know they're only into the stuff what surrounds them
nowadays. They're often mucho surprised when introduced to "older"
music and go WOW over hearing something ... but then get sucked into the spiral
of their own thing and seemingly mindless continue living whatever void or
nonvoid they believe in. I am talking 'bout the consumers here ...
It's a very rough sketch, I realize, but that's how it felt yesterday, empathic
moi ... sucked into the level of awareness around me and eager to get out
again!!!!
Found some nice compilations that
mix jazz, funk, breakbeat fusion and even a sample of Betty Carter's "Open
the Door".
At this very moment I'm enjoying the rhythms of Professor Tsungs'Art of Moving
Shadow, the Science Funktion, compiled by the Guardians of Dalliance. Must say
the names are often superb & creative!
Like the genius & spirit of Zappa breaths in an anonymous way ...
So the last day of 2000 I am taking part in this contemporary thing, haha ... it's the oblivious anonymous that worries me sometimes, too many good things will be forgotten, like the source, the roots, where it all comes from ... those who feed the consuming crowds do know where they get it from, but simply feel they can use it just like that, focussed on the "new" sound they created, totally hyped on the repetitive beat or the jazzed up horn section they manipulated in their computers ...
But I still prefer this, haha, do
we have a four letter word here that should be forbidden??? S*A*R*C ???
I hated their videoclip(s), btw.
Here in EuroZone we celebrate the new year some time before the american continent does .. don't know about the rest of the world, Asia, Down Under ..hm, a Down Under DanFest, sounds fun as well!!!!! Down Under's another mental world, no wonder Steely Dan is loved over there!!
Too many exclamation marks, spent
too much time among these youngsters who wear them over their faces a lot, oops,
should not speak like that, still, call me old-fashioned or old, haha ... I'm in
for a multi-dimensional approach of life, but you're just floating without the
roots ... I need roots, to feed a sense of direction, where I'm from and where
I'm going.
Once that's been established, well, curl up the roots and hop on a flying carpet
... I don't mind then.
Is that a generation thing? Wanting to have knowledge?
Or is it just something all Danadepts have in common?
They newer generations seem to
live in moving pictures, images in their heads, less words, less activity and
like an underwater world of existence ...don't know anything about it, but could
it be the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, haha ...
Goodmorning Starshine indeed!

WOW: We're getting pummeled with snow. A winter wonderland with close to one half a foot on the ground thus far. Kids going bananas in central Park already, and as I ventured outside early this A.M. I witnessed several people up on their cross country skis and a few with snow shoes. Driving on the roads is tantamount to asking for a world of problems. Soo nice. And so nice to walk around the city in virtual silence with the absense of lorries and autos making their ruckus. The pedestrians and the puppy dogs rule the streets today!
and speaking of snow...Chere: Please let me know when the cigars plus arrives.
YGK Malcolm: Bro...you know damn well I'm involved in every phase of NYC DanFest this coming March. So you and Petey can count on my support as a booster, etc. Babes and I do plan to be at the R&R HOF festivities so maybe, as Ole suggested I can provide some instant colour from the inside.. Events at Pete's LBB, sure sign us up as well. And so exciting that Tycoon Dog gets involved. So many things to be pumped about in the new year and it hasn't arrived yet.
Babes celebrates her birthday tomorrow..always challenging for me to come up with something novel on that day....intimate gathering at dear friends Spring Street loft with plenty of champagne, caviar, jazz, and sit down dinner. Exciting.
Enjoying the vibrations of imminient DanFest gatherings and talk of the Dan coming in '01.

Longview, Brain Stew/Jaded, Geek Stink Breath and that
chorus from Redundant... I know it's only fake fake punk but I like it
sometimes. Little Joe is a talented songwriter because of/despite the bullshit
accent and his unique use of the tired cliches to achieve something catchy
because o/despite f the simple barre chords progressions and the teen
angst-ridden lyrics. The challenge is being able to still squeeze something
relevant out of it. I don't own any of their records, mind you but they do make
funny videos.
Now guys, you're not gonna disagree with stevie dan, are you? His record
collection rivals your whole neighborhood's in sheer size and diversity. Always
keep that in mind fellas. It keeps one humble.

5) overall, an excellent christmas. the karaoke player was worth every cent. got kids ? want to get them all in the same room ?
blaise, certainly nothing you said has kept me away. thanx to you and gina for the alarmed inflection and for keeping things alive along with everyone else. drive-bys by steely pete and the innocent one. good times. i haven't even sat at this computer for days, so it's been a good read.
rindy ! well HELL-o ! bump into bumpass ? '01 ? really ? joe jackson fans here ? take a right onto archive boulevard.
have unintentionally replicated one of z's posts by way of tonight's listening. an ecm treasure, "timeless" by john abercrombie with jan hammer & jack dejohnette and a bill evans, "loose blues" with zoot sims, jim hall, ron carter, and philly joe jones.
the connells ? they're from here. i bump into a couple of 'em periodically. psssst... over here... confidentially... i've always thought they were HORRID. anti-dan. and speaking of anti-dan...
ah, a few punk/ska bands that i can tolerate for a few minutes or so PERIODICALLY. my store sells a fair amount of the stuff so i know more than i wish at times about these angry middle class rebels-without-a-pause... oh yes... bad brains at the top of the list, kind of a big drop after that but... the specials, less than jake, rancid, bosstones, madness, dropkick murpheys, skeletones, reel big fish, or even a little emo like julianna theory... but just a little. kind of whiny but ocassionally musically competent for what they are attempting. i can even deal with a little green day in small doses. i just love the "flint, michigan cockney accent".
ygk, enjoyed the drumming report. i hear living colour are getting back together. that would be vivid.
aja, listen to mc. derek trucks is a young slide-master. he has taken the duane lineage and carried it to the next level.
roy, a christmas tune ? great idea ! they already have sleighbells of course.
wormy, i hope christmas in new orleans was good for you.
st. al, one of my closest friends growing up was an african american american indian bass playing virtuoso who loved virtually all the bands you listed (well, phish wasn't around), particularly yes (the band). chris squire was a huge influence.
dance music ?
ALL music is dance music. life is a dance.
the easiest dance party all year ? new years eve of course. this year, for the first time in OVER twenty years i will not be doing a gig. decided to take a year off and it feels great for a change and besides, this year all that y2k crap is REALLY gonna happen because computers being smarter that humans easily recognize the REAL millenium. nostradamus-style y'all.

listening to Glamour Profession from Tweeter, a few thoughts:
- Boy, Don was in fine vocal form
that day. Loud and clear.
- Beast, for the life of me, I can't pick up the key change, I must be more than
tone deaf, more like tone dead, maybe.
- I would dance to THAT song anytime.
- Second time this month I admit to a petty internet crime. I must have a death
wish or something.
- Where the hell is Stevie Dan and did I lead him away with one of my snide
remarks? I always feel guilty everytime someone disappears from here. Same with
wormy. I must have a disorder.
- I'm starting to think those truncated files from the Birmingham NEC show are
the real deal. Like a great sounding overview of what's to come. First time I
hear The Steely Dan Show or at least a part of it. I must be wishful thinking.
- NYC or Nawlins or both or none, that is the question.
- About that Luxembourg rambling. What the hell was I thinking? I must have been
real tired.
- Ethical dilemna: I know I should erase all those songs from my hard drive
but... can I wait a few days?
- Tones is african-american, there is no way we were separated at birth... or is
there?
- Did I dream the serendipity room thingie?
- At Coors, during Monkey in your soul, this annoying woman's voice comes in
over everthing and screams "I was alive during the seventies and I don't
remember thst one. You like it?" Then Walter sings, appropriately,
"don't you think it was wrong..."

My humble abode is in NJ, but I trek into NYC for work - investor relations consulting, strategic planning, etc.
Count me in for NYC Danfest! Unfortunately, I missed the Fest at Camden last summer - they were repaving the parking lot where it was supposed to be, as I recall.
Joe Jackson is well worth catching on his European swing - also worth checking out his Night & Day II album - an ode to NYC. He's coming back to US in March if you missed him on this side of the pond.
I would like to hear some Fagen solo material tunes on the next tour. Also hankering for Home at Last, I Got the News, Caves of Altamira.
Happy real millennium to all danfans!

Great moments of 2000:
1. February 24th: Okay, the date's an educated guess - first self confirmed radio play of anything TvN - What a Shame
2. June 21st: Already having 4 semi-okay seats in hand for the July 23rd concert, our hero scores 2 more in 7th row center. Resplendant choir fogs sunglasses at the Va. Beach Ampitheatre. What a night indeed. Improved wardrobe by one polo Dan shirt.
3. September ?: How the hell? Where has this sign in thing with yellow background been lurking all this time.
4. December 22nd: Improved wardrobe by two GB t-shirts.
5. May 10th: Backtrack - 20th anniversary
Anticipation of 2001:
1. The rumblings and musings of another tour are becoming too prominent to dismiss as wishful thinking.
2. January: YGK comes close to home with the band, WVa and country roads and all that.
3. April 27th: Warm up the porch swing Wormy, we're comin' in to New Orleans.
4. Anytime: How about one more concert DVD, fellas? Quick, low time investment, profitable, what say?
5. St. Al quits day job, opens online SD emporium with coffee mugs and monogrammed windbreakers.
A good and safe weekend to all.

......WOW! Tawk about timing!.......
Listen all good people......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just got off the phone with the Keeper of the Shrine......and he wanted me to put some feelers out regarding a huge, well attended Danfest March 22, 23 in New York City......
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Airing is Wednesday, March 21st......
Chuck Rainey has agreed, in principle, to perform at Le Bar Bat Thursday, March
22 - Elliot Randall is working in his band.......
Mr. Fogel is exploring the possibilities that "Tycoon Dog" could open
for Chuck Rainey, Thursday night....which we would DEFINITELY do......
and then, if that wasn't enough.....Pete would book "Nearly Dan" - the local Long Island Dan band - on Friday night at the West 57th Street club.....
So my post today folks is to determine how many of you would show up for such a series of events.....?
Pete's hesitation is the timing, nearly mid-week.....
However, if you come in on
Thursday, you'd have Friday in the city.....and the weekend to play.....
there are a few things to do in New York........
So I've posted my E-mail for your use.
Please, if you are seriously able and willing to attend this once in a lifetime event, and meet other Danfriendly good people, and have a hell of a time......
Please write me....and state your earnestness.....I will be forwarding the info on to the Keeper of the Shrine......
But it will be a wonderful Dan Friendly time in March......
Please, oh pretty please, respond in volume......

Americans don't pay as much taxes, it's true. The
downside is that they enjoy no universal free healthcare and very little social
services. If you're filthy rich, you're happy with the situation but if you
happen to fall on hard times, America is not nearly as kind to you. Around the
world, it's true that the swedish model is acknowledge as the most generous in
that regard. Big Money is successfully putting a lot of pressure on nations
worldwide to opt for less government intervention and to blindly trust the
markets to rule social affairs. When things run smoothly for the markets like it
does now, it doesn't seem so stupid an idea but when they'll hit a downward
spiral (and historically they always did)... then the Rainbow Room should
logically morph into a soup kitchen for the homeless.
Now I feel like a serious Michael Moore impersonator minus the celebrity
"my conscience is clear 'cause I'm representing the left even though I'm
perfectly aware that this option does not have a chance in hell of ever
prevailing and, as a result, I will continue to enjoy the best of both worlds in
peace" attitude. The american leftists are merely posers, IMHO.
Some of our TV news up here in French Canada is still very much euro-flavored
and you would be shocked how many stories are not carried by the american
networks. Same goes for the press at large unless you stick to the NY Times or
Wash. Post, you know, the "serious press".
All of this to illustrate that censorship is alive and well in the US and will
likely continue to thrive in light of the recent mega-mergers in the cultural
industies.
Which, oddly enough, brings me to Steely Dan who openly distance themselves from
such mega-corporate totalitarian ambitions. Gotta love that. They can smell
bullshit just like I can. They know full well this is a Royal Scam of napoleonic
proportions.
How's that Clas? Would I make a good agitator?

Spotted Cornelius Bumpus today in midtown NYC at a Barnes & Noble. He was off to see Billy Elliott & I was killing time before O Brother, Where Art Thou? (good flick, by the way). He is a genuine nice guy & very appreciative that I recognized him & praised his kick-ass work with SD. Asked me if I played music, but alas I had to admit that I don't.
He confirmed that he will be touring with them in '01, but wasn't sure about any new studio offerings in the works. I mentioned the R&R Hall honors & he told me that he hadn't heard about it.
Happy, healthy & prosperous '01 to all,

Trotsky? You see, most Americans don't know about Trotsky. They know about Stalin, Lenin, you know, the big bad commies. They don't know about Rosa Luxembourg either. She was a well-known female socialist movement leader in the '20s in Germany. Both Trotsky and Luxembourg were brutally assassinated because they represented real threats to the swines of that day. Now Europeans might have a clue about them but most Americans just go "who dat?" and "who the hell is she talking about?" Your History books never mentionned these guys 'cause they actually could be seen as positive representatives of socialist ideals and we know for America to truly work, there can be no such thing. Just thought I'd point that out. The stability of a socio-political system relies heavily on what it does not show or mention. It works both ways, folks, whether you live in a communist or a capitalist regime. Don't be fooled, an ideology is an ideology.

Yip, I really hate all that Green Day wanabee crap that passes as punk. I know that the majority of punk was crap, but there were some gem groups such as Magazine, Gang of Four etc that arose from it. Punk eventually DID die, and was replaced by 'Oi' music. May its soul rest in peace.
On ska, I was also a big ska fan in the early eighties. Fave bands were the Specials, The Beat (before they tried to crack the states), and the superb Madness. Then I grew up, discovered Elvis Costello, and got a taste in music.

Real punk won't get any airplay other than college radio, so you really have to look to find it. Or have a *REAL* big satellite dish 'cause most college radio is low wattage.
But yeah, the Ramonies (alas, only once, lp), the Clash, PiL, Joy Division... don't forget the greatest underrated band in America (except for the ones *I've* been in, heh heh), perhaps ever...

KARLSRUHE, Germany (Reuters) - The widow of a German
man who accidentally strangled himself in a bizarre sexual act
has no right to claim insurance, Germany's Federal Supreme
Court ruled on Thursday.
The widow had demanded $15,220 from an insurance policy
her husband arranged before he strangled himself while
hanging from a door handle during an autoerotic experience,
the court said.
The court rejected an appeal by the widow who had sued an
insurance company for refusing the payout. The court upheld
the company's argument that it was not liable for self-inflicted
injuries.
"The husband of the plaintiff tied his wife's scarf around his
neck and pushed it onto a door handle," the court said in a
statement.
"As he took this action to limit his supply of oxygen in order to
heighten his orgasm, he intended to diminish his bodily
functions."

Howard/Lisa G - hey, I've been playing along to a lot of records during the holidays. And you're probably right, that E-10 chord in Black Cow don't have to have that natural G. Which makes the chord a NOT -10 chord.
And there's a chord in The Goodbye Look that bothers me. There's an instrumental part after the second refrain, there's only chords:
Am7 D/G Fmaj7 C13 Fmaj7 F+m7 (?) C2
That F+m7 must be wrong. I hear Fminor/major7. What do you guys say?
Z - great. You must be from the eastcoast.
But tell me, are you a musicalteacher? And re Jarret; I have a Swedish friend who toured with him here in Sweden (way back, 70's I think). He said that Jarret was unbelivable snobbish, hard to socialize with.
And our Cara Mia - I hope she didn't lose Lautrec. I mean, to lose Lautrec is a BAD thing. And expensive.
dr Mu - who arranged the saxes on My Old School? Jimmy Haskell?
Wow. That can't be right, can it?
Let's wait what Fagens messenger boy is saying, maybe the flee in the lions ass can put things straight.
And bye the way, how did the guys notate Rick Derringers slide? Maybe the messenger boy can answer that question too.
Have a good new year!

Aja....Eric Johnson is indeed touring, supporting his new live album. It's the Derek Trucks Band touring with him. Derek is nephew of Butch Trucks, drummer for the Allman Brothers. I saw Derek play live when he was about 10 years old and he plays some of the meanest slide guitar this side of Duane Allman. Very impressive at any age! I've seen Eric Johnson play four times over the years and would love to see him again. He's got tons of technique but puts a lot of feeling into his music as well. If I remember right, you're in San Diego? They show him playing Tuesday, January 23rd at 4th & B. Does that ring a bell? If I've got the wrong city, just check out www.ericjohnson.com and follow the links to the touring information. Hope you get to see the show!

i also forgot womack & womack's can't remember the title, but it's a cd i picked up in london in 91-ish - it goes like this: footsteps on the dancefloor, remind me baby of you, teardrops in my eyes, next time i'll be true, whispers in the powder room, she cries on every tune, every tune....a great tune for boppin around
no car wrecks, no doggies, no tourists (thankfully i do not practice in a revolutionary town)
love the line-up of talent for the compilation, just ordered a t-shirt too
does anyone remember a band called the connell's, they were from carolina somewhere i think, as i was racing mentally through my cd rack to pull up the dance tunes i was remembering that band - guadalcanal diary is another obscure one from the late 80's, anyone?

difference, you know...
OK. SOME (BUT NOT ALL) DANCE MUSIC I CANNOT STAND TO HEAR. Anything else I need

Dano - What??
Gina - You know it grieves me so
to see you in such pain. I wish there was something I could do to make you smile

Then again, me staying away might help....
Tones - Exactly. They'd be lazing on a Sunday afternoon, painting at the Louvres on Friday wearing spiked leather jackets and spandex pants, burping away their testosterone. Freddie, when I last saw him in the flesh, was doing the locomotion on stage wearing a cute yellow feathered jacket.... I could have been fooled as well. haha

tones, finally enjoying a bit of lucidity myself. I hadn't realized how nonstop eating, drinking, and being very merry could leave such a psychological hangover.
I can dance to anything and have proved it, but Kid Charlemagne (especially with Hank Easton soloing) Fantasy, Frank Sinatra's Luck Be A Lady, and Love In Action are my dance faves of the day. Favorite slow grooves: John Klemmer's Touch and Marvin Gaye's All the Way Around.
Does anyone know if Eric Johnson is touring? A San Diego club is advertising "Eric Johnson and the Derek (somebody) Band" coming-is this the same guy?
Gina-oh, you are one great read, girl. I like to read men's comments on women, too, and I'm in total agreement with you on that one.
Dano, TWM-is Mark Knopfler's What It Is being played in Scotland? He wrote it on a stop in Edinburgh. When he got out of his cab and saw all the night life below the castle, he had a vision that he was looking at hundreds of years of history playing itself out in what he saw before him.

Aja - thanks for the confirmation of lucidity. I'm kinda getting used to this fever (3rd day), and beginning to feel a bit like "Tommy" - "Sickness will surely take the mind where minds don't usually go..." Then again, now I know why suicide isn't legal. Only 3 days, but it feels like I'll never be well again. I think I got the "flu blues"...
Aj, ygk, Jim# - I totally agree with you about dancing, though I don't think my little joke about it played so well in this format. I too have witnessed many a time 20,000 or so Deadheads shaking a tale feather. In fact, we used to call that move Jim# describes "jelly dancing", and yep, it works quite well to "Jack of Speed," which, btw, really feels like the Dan's answer to the Dead's "West L.A. Fadeaway." Anyone concur?
Blaise - Yeah, I always thought it was funny how some people I knew (not friends) could be so homophobic one minute, then turn up the Priest or "Bohemian Rhapsody" the next. *Serious* denial. Btw, Killer Queen still rocks!
lp - we should have our very own Roxy, XTC, B's, Echo dance party. Can we substitute Heads for MJ though?

And if fate or karma or kismet should decide otherwise in this matter of the
heart ... I'll have some nice moments in time to look back on. And my dreams
revisited.
So I can rely on my own strength. And do that music thing.

I got this one & others: I've spent many a non-plussed hour watching as more nimble friends dance, and when finally goaded into participating, am inevitably hooted back to the bench with chants of "white men can't dance, white men can't dance!"
So I re-invented what I call the SD flamingo. Pretty easy. All ya do is determine which leg is the more able (this all assumes that you're quaffing a few beverages at the time), rest most of your weight on that leg, and just jive and rotate the upper body. Works like a charm, especially to Jack of Speed.
In watching the Deads' concert DVD, Downhill from Here, with my most vocal dance critic, I was vindicated. Soon as they panned a shot of the Heads going at it during Not Fade Away, I turned to her and said "See? Every chrisitan soul in that place dances just like me!"
And all while wearing that way cool yellow shirt. Thanks St. Al.
