Shake Your Groove Thang!!!
Peaches n Herb, Donna Summer, Lips Inc, Anita Ward, ABBA, Boney M, The BeeGees, Sister Sledge, Gloria Gaynor and so many more...I'm in the grips of Disco Fever. Not quite as bad as Dengue Fever or Typhoid Fever, it's still bad enough to have your family worried. My parents sure are. They keep wondering how I went from Missy Elliot and 50 Cent to KC and the Sunshine Band and Barry White in less than 3 days. It all began with a discussion with my friend Rawan. We were talking about the 70s, the groovy 70s, and how it would have been so amazing to be alive at that time. Before AIDS, before War, and time when everything was about fun and enjoyment and liberation and social constraints and ideals were forgotten. We moved onto Studio 54, a place I would kill to be able to visit- an almost euphoric experience on its own. I can just imagine it. Walking into a huge room packed tight with gyrating bodies and deep breathing. Bright strobe lights illuminating dark corners, revealing things that are best kept hidden. Smoke machines hazing up the already unclear atmosphere, covering up the shady exchanges taking place all over the club. Snaking bodies, entwined with one another, intoxicating kisses and moan-inducing touches. Disco balls which cast mesmerizing spots over already groggy and glazed over dancers would make the experience even more exhilarating. . Wow. That would have been fun. That's the way I like it.Over and Out.
