I'm even more amazed when i so often see a
band and/or performer that is really grooving
so hard--swinging really hard, or a Brazilian
group with an infectious samba beat, or a
dynamic salsa band, or whatever....
and most of the audience just sits there like
lumps and not a single fibre of their body
moves with the music. ARE THESE PEOPLE HUMAN?
what has happened to them? their little kids,
if they bring them, are hopping up and down
and can't keep in their skin--some oldtimers
in the crowd start to jump up and dance..the
more reserved aficionados are tapping feet or
moving shoulders or bobbing heads..but the
majority are just sitting there..motionless.
Can somebody explain this, it's a cultural
phenomenon of some kind but a mystery to me.
