I Don't Even Want To Discuss Flashdance.

At 14 I Discovered Girls. At That Time Dancing Was The Only Way You Could Put Your Arm Around The Girl. Dancing Was Courtship. Only Later Did I Discover That You Dance Joy. You Dance Love. You Dance Dreams.

I Didn't Want To Move Or Act Like A Rich Man. I Wanted To Dance In A Pair Of Jeans. I Wanted To Dance Like The Man In The Streets.

America Now Has More And Better Dancers Than They Have Ever Had In The History Of The Country, But That Won't Account For The Public Wants To See.

Mentally, I Write Myself A Little Story. Of Course, Sometimes You Have A Song That Says, "do That." My Best Example Is Singin' In The Rain. Arthur Freed Had Insisted That The Song Should Be In The Picture, But He Was Very Anxious About It.

I Miss The Romance. I Keep Saying This Over And Over Again, But Dance Follows Music. And If The Accent Today Is Percussion And Rhythm And Loudness, Then That Is The Way The Dance Numbers Will Be. But It Is Pretty Hard On Romance With Seven Guitars, Three Drums, And No Melody Instruments In The Band.
