The Importance of Dance

I've long thought that the depiction of aliens in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" was a little narrow. Never mind that the premise of little anthropomorphic aliens riding their neon-light, pimped-out interstellar steamboat across the galaxy requires a healthy suspension of disbelief. I imagine that a technologically advanced civilization be emotionally advanced or interesting as well. That is to say, I maybe envision a really smart James Brown getting off the mothership. . .

In a similar vein, I think it's important that our future overlords be able to dance. I'm glad that the "Keepon" is having a nice go at it.

    Too Funny. However, your whiteness is showing.... James Brown was never on the Mothership. You could argue that Parliament where his disciples, but the Godfather was never on board.
