Achilles বলেছেন...: She is actually pretty good.

She should try to do some more choreography.; ২৮/১/২২, ৮:১০ AM
Jaq বলেছেন...: She's got the look right, in my circles, we all dressed like that. Grunge before Grunge was a thing.; ২৮/১/২২, ৮:১৭ AM

MadisonMan বলেছেন...: I have never heard a person say "You can't dance to Bob Dylan"; ২৮/১/২২, ৮:২০ AM
What's emanating from your penumbra বলেছেন...: In the past, people would get silliness like this out of their system in front of a mirror and thus avoid public humiliation. Not all new technologies advance us forward.; ২৮/১/২২, ৮:৩৪ AM

Critter বলেছেন...: If she is listening to Dylan I have hope for her ability to think independently.; ২৮/১/২২, ৮:৪৭ AM
Humperdink বলেছেন...: American Bandstand 1952-1989 (primarily hosted by Dick Clark) gave rise to the iconic phrase: "It's got a good beat and you can dance to it."; ২৮/১/২২, ৮:৪৮ AM

She took a difficult problem and came up with a solution.

And if you actually watch her move she is in rhythm and the movements match the pitch/volume of the music.

You also have to look past the unreasonable expectations people have on physical beauty of performers. She looks like we all look.

At our age we are also reflexively antagonistic to anyone doing anything expressive or creative as this thread demonstrates. As you get older you fear being driven from the tribe more and more so your actions become more conservative and conforming as a result.

This reverses at the extreme end of life.; ২৮/১/২২, ১০:০৯ AM
What's emanating from your penumbra বলেছেন...: @Achilles

When I read your defense, to me it supports a comment of "brave girl" rather than "she is actually pretty good."

Except for this one: "And if you actually watch her move she is in rhythm and the movements match the pitch/volume of the music." With which I disagree. And I think she is attractive in a girl-next-door kind of way.; ২৮/১/২২, ১০:২১ AM
PM বলেছেন...: She's cute and groovy and I like Dylan, so thanks for that.
Might've been Rex Reed or John Simon reviewing a movie who once wrote:
"It was like taking a two-hour walk around your own living room."
A weirdly prescient description of much of social media.; ২৮/১/২২, ১১:৩৬ AM

It is easy to dance to dance music.

What she was dancing to was as far from dance music as it gets. To get as far as she did with what she was trying to do took talent.

And I think she is attractive in a girl-next-door kind of way.

That is what I said right? Or did I misstate?; ২৮/১/২২, ১১:৫৪ AM
Jaq বলেছেন...: I think you could dance to ISIS, I really like the driving groove.; ২৮/১/২২, ১:০৫ PM
Amexpat বলেছেন...: Temporarily like Achilles, I think she does a good job. The real test would be if she could dance to a whole Dylan song. Might be difficult to sustain.

I remember reading an interview with Pete Seeger. He said he liked to ice skate to Dylan's album John Wesley Harding. That makes sense for a lot of the songs on that album. You stroke on a harmonica beat and glide until the next one.; ২৮/১/২২, ৭:৩৯ PM
Saint Croix বলেছেন...: I don't think people say that about Dylan. Subterranean Homesick Blues is an easy one to dance to.

Can you dance to Radiohead, that's the question.; ২৮/১/২২, ৮:১৭ PM
Biff বলেছেন...: I'm with Achilles on this one.; ২৯/১/২২, ১১:২১ AM
