This Owl is of the mind it is quite possible in many realms! Most prog can lend itself to some very interesting interpretive dance with out any problem. There are a few Happy The Man tunes that a couple could waltz to, at least one Mr. Bungle could give way to manic swing dancing as examples in the partner/ballroom realm. So what y'all think? ------------- People are puzzled why I don't dig the Stones, well, I listened to the Stones, I tried, and I tried, and I tried, and--I Can't Get No Satisfaction! www.myspace.com/theowlsmusic |

| DANCING TO PROG??....NOT THE PROG I KNOW!!!..still back in the late 80's when the whole dance club thing took of (back when it was just called "house" or "acid house") i listened to a program on our local community radio station where they talked of the origins of the new craze.They pointed out the fact that the strong electronics emphasis of this music(which still exists) was influenced by the likes of TANGERINE DREAM!!(THEY EVEN PLAYED "PHEADRA" as an example!!!)(i still have the tape of the show somewhere!!!) |

Lol, you know that's interesting. I never find myself dancing progressive music, maybe singing or moving my head along to flow of it. Prog involves too much emotion and dramaticness, it's hard to sometimes. I prefer to sit back and be amazed. But the question is; Is or can Prog become dance music for the clubs? |

| The word dance does not exist in my vocabulary. However, during the early seventies Hawkwind featured a nude female dancer as part of their live stage shows. If anyone out there has ever seen Grobschnitt live there`s quite a bit of dancing which took place as part of their stage shows which were quite elaborate. I saw them do Solar Music along as well as Rockpommel`s Land, lots of dancing . Can anybody imagine Bob Fripp getting down on the dance floor? |

you can dance whatever moves your heart and of course your feet, this is a matter of character and behavior, that's all, if you like to dance: dance, if not, remain seated... and listen peace |

LOL Yeah, with Jim Garten and a Pavarotti look-alike dominatrix writhing about the bile covered floor, playing grab-arse with a couple of blood frenzied attack-badgers as a Canadian English professor attempts to keep time with his palsied hands, but only manages to enrage a Celine Dion look-alike Caribou that vomits it's wallby darned on the accompanying underage Netherlander who snuck in pretending to be a hirsute English sheepdog. Meanwhile, a Australian Dingo farmer plies the local Billy-boys with watered down Fosters beer. Glphrlrug. Something has gone terribly amiss.... What thread is this? Yes, ma'am I'll have another. |

So true... I can dance to any kind of music. I just have to be in the mood for it. I suppose it looks very silly, but when you're in a pub with friends and alcohol, you don't care. Dancing, headbanging, or just tapping with your feet. It's FUN! Posted By: Velvetclown

Totally sober, to boot!!! I've got badger fencing all around my abode now. That'll keep the pesking vermin out. I'll have to find a new folical replacement method. Hmmm. Wombat? I've also put out a few bars of anti-Englishman repellant, called Sodium Oxide Anglo Progenator (SOAP). Can't be too safe. I think Brits fake the accent to score with American chicks. Bas I feel safer now. PS: Don't tell Jim, eh? |

Danbo - when will you ever learn that badger fencing is about as effective as a chocolate teapot; you should know that one air strike from the massed ranks of the British Suicide Pelicans, will reduce your dreams to so much rubble....... They are famous for their terrifying war cry of Mmnnff, Mmnnff, Mmnnff (well, you try screaming Tora Tora Tora with a beak full of dynamite!) and the musky smell of undigested fish which precedes all attacks - this could be the last thing you ever smell, so be warned.
Once the smoke clears, your cowering puny marines will be overwhelmed by 20,000 crazed badgers, all toting Uzis, and led by their awesome leader himself - YES! I Jim Garten, OBE, KBE, DFC & KFC, Prog-Lord, and Bearer Of The Royal Toilet Brush shall lead my troops personally into battle on my faithful war-donkey, Juliet - resplendent in diamante armour, peacock feathers, a Tupperware hat, and the severed heads of previous victims (my 2 pet mice, which stole into my underwear, never to return.....). And as for you Peter, I was that one-legged lingerie model, and that was no accident (you should have had the rum tested, Petey boy.....). I'm back, I'm British, and I'm still due that annual bath......... -------------

Ha Ha, silly Brit. You forgot about Great American President Ronald Reagan's "STAR WARS" technology. Chewbacca will shoot down your puny British Suicide Pelicans with our ACME proton excellerator. Raining zorgon laced Pelican feathers down upon your whimpy attack-badgers causing severe rectal bleeding and driving the misguided beasties to perform Hari-kari with their rusting Uzi's. Once seeing the complete and total annihilation for the troops, the Mad Brit will turn his Tupperware covered cranium about and run, knock-kneed and keening, to the North where the rum-soaked Canadian foe will slap him silly with a goose feather and a jar of vegemite. Once captured, the broken Brit will stand trial before visiting Magistrate, Sir Dude of the Austrailian Pelican Abuse Foundation. Sentencing will include Morrocan bunga-bunga Torture and foot tickling while being guarded by a Pavarotti look-alike dominatrix slathered in badger bile, quoting Zappa tunes and carrying several large cucumbers. Be sure, Brit, you demise will be slow and pointless.
BTW We've retired our Radio-Active Beavers to Las Vegas, sorry, Dude. |

Yes, unfortunately true. Since the trend continues of a few mega-media corporations attempting to buy and control the vast majority of radio stations in the States and the even more unfortunate trend of computer automated, remotely programed FM music stations; there are simply fewer jobs available in audio broadcasting. Hence, our beavers are simply not as active in radio as they once were. And now a message from our sponser..... |

Hey Cunucklehead, The French have their Truffles, Brits eat fish and chips, Hindu's got the couscous, Canadians got bacon. Thankfully us American's got plenty of non radio active beaver. We'll never go hungry!!! There's only 25-30 people left in the Great White North. Most of your hockey players left just so they have a chance to win the cup. We all know Canada Pro Teams SSSSUUUCCKKK. http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001"> First Amendment? Yeah buddy. If it weren't for Al Gore, we wouldn't be having this conversation, bucko. He invented the internet. So backoff the America bashing Professor Rideout, or Chewy'll blast yer sorry wilderness off the planet. And Bryan Adams, too!!!! And tell yer Australian kanagroo buster to watch his arse too. Han Solo and Luke are in orbit over the Great Barrier Reef as we speak. |

Hi Rob! Take care of the cherubic little nutbar for us, would you? I think that a few days away from work, the computer and coffee, listening to you practice the bass, by playing along with "Red" and "5G" by Bruford 16 hours a day, should just about do it.....Posted By: Peter
