Oliver's first dance

Quite unexpectidly, Oliver fired up his first dance 4 days ago. I thought I would use this post to capture a general log of his favorite tunes, related dance moves and perhaps a few videos.

So far the prospects look great. But before I continue, I must acknowledge that Oliver see's live music 1 to 2 times a week. He's been to huge festivals and many block - neighborhood type events, plus let's face it, his parents are music fiends and Oliver was in fact conceived at a new years 3 day Widespread Panic in Hot-Lanta weekend of mayhem, so the odds are in his favor.

#1 first dance ever - Ac/Dc, Girls Got Rhythm, off Highway to hell, we're talking Bonn Scott 1979 - truth is I have not heard that tune in 7 years, it happened to roll through on shuffle - and now I have it playing often. A sign that my son has taste?

That same evening he ignored ABBA and Saturday night fever (sue's attempts at firing up more dance)

#2 dance - Bob Marley Could You Be Love, here I have a video, mom jumped into frame and sorry Sue, you were out danced. That kid got moves. Oliver stopped dancing once some modern crap came on.

#3 dance - grateful dead, Shakedown Steet, truthfully this was a Phil Lesh show i had just attended. Yippin and yelling huge baby smiles - me not him. Here he displayed his skills at 'holding on to furniture and shakin that a$$.'

Blogs are Destorying the Internet

All blog sites, blog posts and reader comments should be removed from existance. I will concede this blog for the sake, and dire need to continue the existance of the human race.

Some supporting FACTS

Attempt to do some legitimate research - work related - and you'll soon find that too many blog sites simply regurgitate official postings. A recent search on MCE (MS Media Center) yielded these results. Note how 90% of the posts contain the same exact press release. Other results do not appear until the 3rd results page.

I now feel compelled to copy text that someone else has written, just so I have something on my blog. But I won't.
