Quote of the Day

“You know, when you’re a kid, they tell you it’s all: Grow up, get a job, get married, get a house, have a kid…and that’s it. But the truth is, the world is so much stranger than that. It’s so much darker…and so much madder…and so much better” ~ Elton,  from the Doctor Who episode Love & Monsters

Monday Dance Party: Patty Jo – Make Me Believe In You

“There was a moment when their faces blossomed into the sweetest happiness, however—when everyone came together in a single lovely communion that was the reason they did all they did; and that occurred around six-thirty in the morning, when they took off their sweat-soaked T-shirts and screamed because Patty Jo had begun to sing: ‘Make me believe in you, show me that love can be true.’ By then the air was half-nauseating with the stale stench of poppers, broken and dropped on the floor after their fumes had been sucked into the heart, and the odor of sweat, and ethyl chloride from the rags they clamped between their teeth, holding their friends’ arms to keep from falling. The people on downs were hardly able to move, and the others rising from the couches where they had been sprawled like martyrs who had given up their souls to Christ pushed onto the floor and united in the cries of animal joy because Patty Jo had begun to sing in her metallic, unreal voice those signal words: ‘Make me believe in you, show me that love can be true.'” ~ Andrew Holleran, Dancer from the Dance
