For me, the best part of the LR livestream last night started at 10:07 when I recognized Donna Summer’s voice & vividly recalled moments in 1977 on the dance floor of Limelight, which was like Omnia in the Disco Era. I was dancing, of course, but we really danced w/ fancy footwork instead of bouncing or swaying place. We danced w/ a partner. The crowd around us pulled back to watch my agent Gary & I doing our ballroom best. Laser lights were strafing the walls. The reflections off the rotating mirrored disco ball threw stars on everything & everyone. Gold foil confetti rained down. And I was so fucking high on a combination of ecstasy, cocaine, & creme de menthé that I’d lost my mind to the music & become a precision dancing machine. Briefly, I was there again feeling young & sexy & free.

thirty years ago I was in AIM chats with BeauBeau the Cheerleader, and this has been my first time in the southeast: drove Over the James yesterday. life is a circle.
