Might as well. Can’t dance.

Wait! Did somebody say “Can’t dance?”

So far around 345 million people have watched those videos. What took you so long?

Some where in a box I have the CD from that first video. There’s some decent riffs on it but for the life of me, I can’t remember the band.

I couldn’t stuff any more than about 10 seconds each into my eyeballs.
It’s bad enough that people come up with that sort of retarded stuff, but to video it and put it out there is more than I can grasp. 2021 will be the year of straightenin’. A whole lot of us won’t be here this time next year, and deservedly so.

As a 74 year old man who enjoys disco dancing with his 57 year old still slender and shapely housekeeper (yeah, yeah, I know), those videos gave me the creeps. To quote Archie Bell and the Drells: “Lemme put dis hamboigah down. I don’ wan’ no mouth, I wanna DANCE!” . For the fellow in the first video, that means gettin’ up out of the chair; for the solo in video two, dancing is done in a duo; where’s the woman? Are these exhibitionists taking over the world? Not mine, no sir. Dancing is a mating ritual, even when one is long past the productive phase. Let’s keep it that way.

Only by Fire is Fascism Finished

Year upon year in Earth’s darker forests,
Heaped at the foot of the trees,
Dry drifts of wood rot and leaf fall increase
Which sunlight shall never seize.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

The ash that descends in the September skies
Where the leapers swam down the stones?
Best answered by bombs from mid-heaven at prayer
With that fire which hollows the bones.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

If their god decrees war, God’s war shall prevail.
His lessons are seared in His stone.
No dreams shall defer, nor wishes erase,
The answers that burn in the bone.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

Only by Fire is Fascism Finished.
This Sin is demanded that Your Line may Live.
Only through Fire is Freedom Reborn.
Each generation pulls the Sword from the Stone.

Van der Leun: The Normblog Bio of Your Host“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian.
