jamesq | Ascendency

garething were upstairs working on arrows and listening to devil music. I wander up and the music they're playing actually had a pretty beat to it. I couldn't help it, I started to groove to the music. I was swaying my hips, moving to the music and doing the white-boy shuffle.

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?"
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."

In this way he's like Elvis or the Beatles.
