We Can't Swing the Mainstream But They Don't Jive Anyway

"Swing Kids" with some of the best swing dancing I've ever seen.



Only the best rock song of all time and it's not even rock so there is only one question: can you jive?

Ahhh, Face, I knew that you could.


Note:  I thought all these years Benny Goodman wrote the song but it was actually Louis Prima.


I've written about these kids multiple times since these protesters resisted the NAZIs with swing dance and I won't even write too much about that now since their courage overwhelms me every time.

If anyone ever lived more truly to the words of Martin Luther King without even knowing what they were, I have never seen it.

My deepest respect.


Ed:  Lysistrata!

Fair enough and let's see how that rolls today, huh!  Y'all can straighten up and fly right or the only sex you will ever enjoy again will come from self-abuse.  Ha!



The transience of dance is something I love just the same as the transience of music since all it poofs when the song is over ... but really it never poofs at all.


Face, can you jive?

Ah, Face, I knew that you could.
