STOMP!

I just listened to the song Stomp! by The Brothers Johnson. It annihilated me.

Apparently all cultures find some way to expend, some outlet for the solar flow to pass through. I believe that in the 1970s and 1980s, the United States of America had the dance floor as that outlet. The dance floor is where the orgy takes place. Bodies collide and interpenetrate each other while dancing. One loses oneself into the music, and dancing is nothing more than the body losing itself into flows. The dance floor is the place of orgy because one communicates with their dance partner, the actual other, as well as with their virtual other, the artist of the music one is losing oneself in. But binaries aren’t found on the dance floor, so it isn’t a threesome. Then again, even if it was just a single dance partner, there could be multiple musicians. Either way, dance floors have been lost to TIME. They are no longer used, then again, were they ever?
