Queen Of Disco B'day



The Best of Soul Train was so sizzlin' hot this past saturday, the most smokin' episode ever. it originally aired february 3, 1979, during the apex of the disco explosion. The Soul Train Dancers were living for the music as if they'd just been freed from prison. these children were - letting - you - have - it.

when they played Amii Stewart "Knock On Wood", it looked like the set was gonna come crashing down from all the gyrating and body thrusting. when they played Gonzales "I Haven't Stopped Dancing Yet", the look of pure ecstasy and unlimited possibilities was on the face of each dancer.

watching this show, it's clear why the disco movement had to be shut down. it tapped into that vast spiritual energy that cannot be controlled. disco threatened people who were afraid of their own connection to universal joy. unfortunately, people feel more comfortable in their pain, like a foster child who longs to be back home with their abusive parent.

remember, you have two choices on this planet...glass half full or glass half empty. both choices are correct, but one choice will bring you joy, and the other choice will bring you pain. keep on dancin', children.
