sweaty boogie, dirty funk and other marvels of the universe

Some fundamentalists ban dancing because they fear it will lead to immoral thoughts and behaviour. Their fear is misplaced. They should fear the music.

There are people who approach music intellectually, and those who approach it spiritually. There are those that don't approach it at all. And then there's me. For me music is visceral. I have to feel it. And nothing does that like a little sweaty boogie, or some good old dirty funk. Gimme a whisky and cigarettes soaked blues belter, with a little piano, some electric guitar, and I'm in heaven. Well okay, somewhere farther south, with my mind in the gutter and the rest of me soon to follow.

AMEN!
