Soooooouuul Train
Twitter isn’t good for much, but it is good for finding out things like the fact that Don Cornelius, the creator of Soul Train, died of suicide at age 75. Rest in peace, Don. This bit of sad news brought back vivid memories of watching Soul Train on the brown shag rug in the basement of the house my parents fled in favor of new construction, because the molds were giving me asthma. In fact, I believe that shag rug was largely to blame for many of my issues as a tween, asthma-related and otherwise.
I remember being entranced by the dancers on Soul Train – their outfits were so wild and their moves were so fine. Nothing like that ever happened in my house. In honor of Don Cornelius, I decided to see if I could find any Soul Train on youTube and, OHMYGODYOUGUYS, this NEVER happens, but it’s even better than I remember. Nothing is ever better than you remember. See for yourselves. I must warn you that this is possibly the most wildly entertaining thing you will have watched in a long time. And it begs the question: WHY NO SOUL TRAIN TODAY? Come ON!

Wow! You weren’t kidding. It’s hard to believe that those 3 minutes weren’t the most memorable moments all spliced together. And is it me or did the first guy look exactly like Rerun? Really! Look again. Hey hey hey! That was great. Thanks for sharing. We’ve been watching your latest video postings at breakfast. Seeing the world outside of Granby….

Oh my god, I think you’re right! I thought so too, and then the fact that he’s with that pretty girl cinched it for me. No way he could get her unless he was famous! He’s got some good moves. I love how he tells her to go into slo-mo and she does. So glad to hear you guys are getting a little ridiculousness with your morning cereal! Stay tuned – I have a couple more good ones up my sleeve.
