Great! I love James Chance. The Contortions were and are awesome. I had a huge crush on Pat Place. Pat-if you read this, I love you!

@gayandblackin1985 James Brown too was a James Brown on speed. Heh!

Cocaine is a hell of a drug. Ever see the hardest working man in showbusiness on Sonya? Aired back in '87. He was out of his gourd then; eerily similar to this, but less funky.

Love it, love it. Just discovered but already up there with Jesus, McDonalds and Tony Blair.

I love the fact that there's still so much bilious dialog here... like... practically 30 years post hoc. Even more evidence to the greatness. A little hint to those who don't get it:
It wasn't the singing (although that was part of it)
It wasn't the clothing (although that was part of it; skinny ties)
It wasn't the dancing (thought that was part of it; contortions)
It wasn't the fist fights (though that was part of it; woohoo!)
It was THE FUCKING COOL. If you don't get that, you won't.

@PaulDA2000
Your comment and the one that followed is actually pretty lame. Who cares if James couldn't dance? He never said he could. The band's name says it all "James Chance and the CONTORTIONS". This is not The Flamenco Dancers. All I see is a person who does not have a boring stage presence. At least the music moves him. That's actually immature that you assume "only white people can get away with this". That's like assuming only black rappers can get away with walking around on stage.
