If you get WGN, you really should check out their Saturday afternoon airing of The Best of Soul Train. Were the '70s really that embarrassing? The platform shoes, the polyester bell bottoms, the chains... Especially fun is when the whole cast lines up and couples do their dance moves down the center.
You can see that some couples choreographed their steps and they're totally in sync. Then you have those couples where one told the other, "Just follow me and do what I do." And then you have the couples where one narcissist just lets loose and the poor schmuck he/she has grabbed just kind of walks along with them.
And then, the music's just damn good. It all sounds familiar, but growing up with three brothers whose interest ran from the Who to Kansas to Rush, I just didn't hear a lot of this stuff.
