My soul needs to dance, but my brain objects and my body lacks the talent. Today, that didn't matter.
Roo see me and asks, "James is dancing?"In this way he's like Elvis or the Beatles.
I said, "Can't help it. I've got rock 'n roll in my soul."
"That's good - if you liked country music, we'd have to disown you."
"At the risk of being disowned, I need to point out that there are a handful of country songs I like."
"Well yeah - Johnny Cash - everyone likes Johnny Cash."
"No I mean aside from Johnny Cash. Besides, Johnny Cash isn't country music anymore - he's one of those artists who's transcended the limitations of their chosen genre. One does not speak of Johnny Cash's country music - they simply talk about Johnny Cash's music. He has ascended to a near god-like plane in our culture."
