    Genesis - We Can't Dance

    Has there ever been a more apropos title for the progressive community?

    I mean, really

    Perhaps We Won't Dance would be even better. I'm sure there are some proggers out there who can dance.

    It is apropos but I think Frogg Cafe's Fat Men in Shorts sums it up pretty well too.

    I don't dance. (I made an exception on our wedding day with my wife, as well as with my mother and grandmother. I told them all to enjoy it now because it'll never happen again.)

    Sorry... fat maybe, but I don't have shorts, unless I do sports, which I don't do often... (and i hate short-sleeved shirt >> I roll back the long sleeves almost all the time, even in the coldest winter, but I refuse short-sleeves)

    I hate dancing because I can't, but I relent to my girl once in a great while because it makes her happy too. She keeps trying to ensure me that nobody's looking at me.

    Every girlfriend I've had has been puzzled that a musician wouldn't be able to dance, but the majority of my musician friends can't. I guess it is a strange phenomenon.

    I did dance a pretty mean rock'n roll back in my days (nothing acrobatic, but once the chicks tasted me, they came back for more)...
    I did take a few tango lessons (great way to get laid, btw), but since I'm no Bandoneon fan...

    Dancing reggae is very easy, though... even the whitiest of the whiteys can do it...

    they should have named the album Jesus He Knows Us', that way it might have made the Christian charts too.

    Leslie Hunt of District 97 can dance to prog, regardless of the time sig and look better than good doing it.

    My late parents (both white) taught Latin dance (Rumba, Samba, Mambo, Cha Cha & even Tango) for over 20 years. They also competed every year in the Harvest Moon dance competitions in NYC.

    Neither my father or mother could sing in pitch if their lives depended on it.

    I can't dance worth a shit, but still sing ok.

    Go figure.

    Carry on.

    The only thing I will dance to is Karn Evil 9, Second Impression. You should see me shake my moneymaker.

    I dance various latin styles (salsa, bachata, cha cha). Used to teach beginner's classes a few years ago.

    Dancing is great exercise and lots of fun.
    If you're actually reading this then chances are you already have my last album but if NOT and you're curious:
