Favorite Dance Song ???

[Kind of Blue]

9. Awesome, Awesome memory! "Tripping hippies + disco...

is a winning combination." Thank you.

In my youth, I was totally disappointed by one of my fine arts teacher, a hippy just a generation or so before us teens in high school, we adored him. But he hated disco with a passion. In classes, it was clearly his quest for us to negate the fusion of soul, funk and disco of my era. That's when I knew how dead inside he was. Music changes, it morphs and speaks to generations who he had no awareness of or cared to know sitting right in front of him.

In my college years, specifically Le Freak was what we looked forward to specifically after midterms and finals. I see them. I see us now so clearly, singing "I said freak!," which was our anthem for release from the pressure, while dancing at our favorite clubs.

All that pressure got you down
Has your head spinning all around
Feel the rhythm, check the rhyme
Come on along and have a real good time
Like the days of stopping at the Savoy
Now we freak, oh what a joy
