I just finished listening to a recent Gilles Peterson show where Thom Yorke cohosted with him for most of it. That was some challenging radio. I’m exhausted after listening to it. Hopefully, all of the dances will give me a boost before I pass out for the night.

a very significant other and i danced together the first time at a halloween party (mine). i was basically a skeleton and she was basically like a negative image of a skeleton. we did not know about the other's costume until she got to my house.
anyway we were the same height and basically the same build and had about the same length hair and she danced with her arms out away from her body so i imitated her and it was dubbed the skeleton dance. the only dance i know how to do.

Point being. I don't know if Sonny & Eddie were two different people are the same person.

He actually renamed himself the crawfish emperor at his 90th birthday party two years ago because too many people had declared themselves the crawfish king.
