It's never off-topic anywhere there are English, Australians,
Indians, Caribbeans, Pakistanis etc. And Irish since the last World
Cup.

Cricket is to Baseball, as Mozart is to Country & Western.

C&W is *infinitely* superior to Mozart. You can at least dance to it!

;->

I hope that you do not classify "line-dancing" as real dancing.
It is as badly named as "Christian Science".

I understand you are not that familiar with Country & Western, which
includes many variations of a basic theme. I also understand that you
are likely under the impression that Nashville noise, is C&W. Some is,
most is not.

Line dancing, is a insidious xian plot.
Consider if you will, no rual bar can survive with nothing but line
dancers for a crowd, they don't drink enough to pay for a jukebox, let
alone a live band.

However, there is country & there is not country.
Dancing can, & has been done, to various songs, such as Foggy Mountain
Breakdown, Dueling Banjo's, Sweet Betsy form Pike, even hank williams Sr.
[possibly the worst singer, but best performer ever known to C&W] could
be danced to.

If it does not make you cry in your beer or delieriously happy for no
reason at all, it ain't country. No other requirements exist & Nashville
has yet to learn this. Nashville does however, know how to market its
noise & make money.

walksalone who no longer makes happy tracks on a dance floor, but has not
forgotten how or why. More liike, hell, why not.

BTW, I do agree with your basic premise, line dancing is more akin to a
slow Conga line than anything else.

Line dancing is otherwise known as the "Aryan Stomp" here in The
States. <Grin> Fortunately, there's always the two-step, which works
with most C&W music, and is more fun anyway, since it's done with a
partner.

Besides, any singer-wannabee (like moi!) can sing along to country
music. Singing to Mozart requires a degree of ability and expertise
that most of us can't even dream about.

[I'm sorry, I shouldn't bad-mouth Mozart; after all, he got me a full
ride to college. I played his D Major "Strasbourg" Violin Concerto at
my scholarship audition to the University of Arizona, and won a 4-year
music scholarship. On the other hand, one of the big reasons I gave
up studying the violin was so that I never *ever* had to play Mozart
again.]

Hehe. Brings this back to mind:

Please, please tell me that the video was a "staged" event.
If not, then the US is well down the ***** tubes.
Past the U bend.
Past the sewage works.

Please tell me that it was faked.

Top Gear is a motoring program on BBC TV.

It was genuine.

Please.
