*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***
(OK, I will:-)

I thought that a dance-your-***-off band (whether that's the same as a
dance band, I don't know) would be a band where most of the people who are
listening to the band are dancing their ***es (sp?) off--in which case the
Dead qualify to a greater extent than any other band.

The Pop o Pies version of Trucking WAS good for a few yuks for the D'Heads
and the band, but only as a flash-in-the-pan gimmick.
