Dance and Dust
Ok, Ligneus. This is the video I mentioned to you and , truth be told, I’m not all that certain why I am so taken with it. I understand it was released a few years ago, but I have been in limbo musically for quite a long time, not listening to any, so I missed it.
However, of late I’ve taken a liking to Fatboy Slim and in pursuing the tune “Praise”, I came across the video above. I know nothing about dance and I don’t much care if these dancers are “real”. Given that dance seems to have become reduced to gyrating gelatinous-like buttocks and thrusting pelvises, I find their seemingly awkward exuberance cleansing. Because it isn’t all about sex, this human experience – but you’d have a hard time deducting that from our genitalia obsessed, and , in my mind, exceedingly boring pop culture.
It occurs to me that such preposterous good fun, such benign irreverence will become extinct. Already is, actually. One can not flatten the world and expect creativity to thrive. And multiculturalism – this soulless devotion to what is deemed “correct” - flattens the world, bleaches it dry of color, rives it of vital creativity. In a world where authentic excellence is feared, brilliance in any medium will not be tolerated. Iconoclasts, unscripted story tellers, truth – all will become rare. Is rare.
So I love this piece. It is arrogant and playful, graceless and eloquent and American, very very American – also soon to be deemed rare as the dreary machinations of collectivist control shreds us all to dust and grit.
I best listen to it again. It always manages to make me smile.
Update from Ligneus
The video I mentioned in my comment wouldn’t embed there, so here it is. See my comment first!

Bo Snerdley on Obama and Ludacris « American Truckers At War
Sphere: Related ContentThis is Bo Snerdley, Official Barack Criticizer for the EIB Network, certified black enough to criticize with non-homogenized organic slave blood. I have a statement. Mr. Obama, your trip to Europe — marred by your gross insensitivity to our wounded troops, ego-based photo-ops with foreign leaders, and a speech about nothing to a large crowd in Germany — has now been overshadowed by the rapper Ludacris. It was you who connected Ludacris to your election efforts, touting his music was on your and seeking to establish your hipness. Now, Ludacris is coming back to bite you. …..
