It's fitting that one who likes Duran Duran should quote Asia, another
group crafted in the image of mediocrity.

Why can't you dance to music that doesn't require having a labotomy to
be able to ignore it's inaneness?  Dance to the B52s, Tom Tom Club,
Robert Frip, King Crimson, (old) Gang of Four, Beatles, Herbie Hancock,
Yello, etc.!
