"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Happy Feet Friday
Fred Astaire in a longish video clip from The Sky’s the Limit - primarily appealing, to me, for the absolutely mad boogie starting at around 3:13.
I always thought this was Sinatra's song. Gets me thinking that Sinatra probably owed something to Astaire in developing his mature style - clear enunciation with a wide open mouth, against the pursed lips crooning then current.
I like Astaire's singing, and Sinatra's, now I think there's a link.
I could swear I danced great last night, but the looks I got from Joe (in my case the beautiful Jennifer) woke me up early with demons screeching "Oh God, what did you do?"
