Not to respond to either of these individual comments, but rather to
something they evoke in me...I've always found that sort of "Thou shalt
dance" orthodoxy a bit knee-jerk/silly. Some people simply don't dance and
<gasp> it is NOT a crime. Some people DO and that is not a crime, either
unless they are dancing ON my feet, etc). For somebody to tell me (and,
again - not to imply that either participant in this dialogue was doing so)
that I can't enjoy or respond to something in a way in which I feel
comfortable without infringing on someone else's way is a bit daft in my
perspective. I would rather see all of the energy devoted to the
dance/don't dance
wars directed towards the people who insist on talking and talking loudly
during any kind of public event. When I saw Herbert down at Motor in
Detroit last summer I was (as usual) not happy when the crowd din would
overwhelm the music at points. I've often wondered why people want to pay
the price of admission and see how loudly they can NOT pay any attention to
the stage when this can just as easily be accomplished at a bowling alley
or corner bar with ostensibly less annoyance to others and no cover charge
for the perps.

Please don't tell me that you were that guy! The tall, blonde-haired guy at
the front of the crowd that kept turning around andf saying, "Geez! Why is
no one dancing!?" Then turning around and not dancing yourself. I really
hope that if you are complaining about people not dancing that you were just
tearing it up and cutting a rug...

almost unattentive..
