I was impressed with how spry this old man was, doing a little flat footing at an Arkansas statehood anniversary celebration.Speaking of dancing, is anyone watching that show, So You Think You Can Dance? Come on now, don't lie. Usually I consider it mind numbing entertainment, but this past week I was amazed. I get inspired by truly creative people, no matter what form of expression they use. Pop choreographer bad ass Wade Robson put together a little number he described as "homeless cabaret." Who thinks of stuff like that? Not only was his work amazing, but the song he used was quite a creative feet as well. It's from the "Triplets of Belleville" soundtrack, the 2003 animated French caper of the same name. The music draws inspiration from early 1900s jazz and infuses it with an assortment of modern sounds as well as operatic and classical themes. At one point in this song the composer throws a vacuum cleaner into the musical mix. Who does that? It is so fantastic.

i haven't watched that show, thank god, but my wife and daughter like to watch "Dancing With The Stars." at the same time i like to bang my head against the wall til it bleeds profusely. it's called family bonding. the bonding part comes later when the show's over and the girls tend to my head wounds. i have such a wonderful family.
