My Dog Ate My Stereo...
You are laying in your bed having a dream about, "the product of loveliness" when you wake up with a start, to the sound of a giant, oddly muffled rumble that is rolling down the road below your window heading towards the lake. Somehow you immediately know without anyone telling you, that your dog ate your stereo! Your receiver, CD player, tape deck, reel to reel, graphic equalizer, amplifier, head phones, numerous speakers, and whole pile of cables are all inside your dog who is now so large and round it is rolling down the hill, with a peculiar fur-to-ground rumble! You hear the odd sound of all your components clacking together as they all roll down the hill inside your dog. "An unforgettable sound," you think to yourself. For some unknown reason, you flash on the fact that each component might be RoHS, but you put that quickly aside as you realize the giant splash you hear is from your dog hitting the lake. On some deep gut level you absolutely know that this means you will probably never see your stereo or dog again. You run to the living room windows that overlook the lake below and you can see a large wave heading out in all directions. You see your neighbors looking up at you in disbelief at what they seem to be seeing. Only then do you realize you did not get dressed before racing to the window! At this point your thoughts get muddied by what to do. Seemingly, out of nowhere, a realization slowly emerges in your mind, "wait a minute, I don't even have a dog or a stereo!" As the full realization emerges that your dog could not have eaten your stereo, because you do not have a dog or a stereo, you awaken in your bed soaking wet from a full body sweat. You think to yourself, "it was only a dream". But then reality bites hard - without a stereo you can't dance!
Ok, so dance might not be your top priority, but what if, I mean just maybe, you wanted to dance? We are not talking pro dance, but dancing for the sake of dance. Like get that body moving like it has never moved before. What would you wear? What shoes would you have on and what songs would be playing on what stereo? Ya, pretty basic, but hey. Or what if you do know the answers, but they are way out of date, like you are almost paralyzed in the real world? What is current, it all changes so fast?
"Rhythm is a dancer, it's a soul companion, people feel it everywhere, lift your hands and voices, free your mind and join us you can feel it in the air, it's a passion..."
