OK, but please telll me what is admirable about funky? How is what he did good?
I watched him jump around, twitch like he was spastic, yell, if I didn't know any better I would swear he was doing an immitation of George Jefferson.
movin on up, to the east side........... Either he was copying Sherman Hemsly (sp?) or other other way around. Either way it was not cool, or good, or art.

Pat Boone sang songs. Good songs. Music. You know, that stuff that isn't posing or pretending or yelling.
Of course it's hard to try and latch onto a certain clique and pretend to be cool if it's understood or mainstream.
I guess if it's strange different or "ethnic" it doesn't have to be good, and you aren't suppose to admit that no matter what or you will be labeled ignorant. Kind of like the emperor's new clothes.
It's more acceptable to go along with the sheep and pretend to like something that is crap than to be different than the crowd.
It's important to be a non-comformist so you can fit in with everyone else.

Speeder, I'm sorry. What did you say? I can't hear you.
