Put me down as a no for Dana's hair as well. It makes her eyes bug out!

--Chilly in Wisconsin

 
So noted, Chilly. Of course, the bugging-out eyes are a separate issue than the hair. Unless maybe we have her hair pulled back too tight. We'll work on that.

Observers of the Greenwich Village parade on Halloween Night saw a bunch of zombies do Michael Jackson's Thriller dance. Many people said that the dance was worth the whole parade. I told anybody that would listen that this was inspired by the wedding Thriller dance that Team Rockwood performed. Unfortunately, they cut me out of it. Click here, then click the button: CW11 NEWS VIDEO and then click on "Annual Halloween Party in Greenich Village.

Thanks for the support, Chris, although we don't know if even WE would claim that every performance of Thriller dancing was inspired by us. We'd guess this one isn't. However, we do have it on good information that this one was. We're inspiring prisoners worldwide!

Saw something this weekend you might find interesting. A couple college buddies and I went to the OU-A&M game on Saturday. During the halftime show, the Pride played THRILLER! And ... during one part of the song they made a big square formation, set their instruments down, and did the thriller dance! I wonder if they were inspired by the other thriller-related almost-celebs in Norman, or if it was just coincidence?

Anyhow the crowd ate it up. At least until one person in the crowd near me pointed out that those kids in the band weren't even *born* when that video first came out.
Dude - we're old. Bummer.

--Bobby

 
That one is mostly coincidence, Bobby. Although...

A little known fact about Brian: he spent five glorious years in college (don't laugh, he changed his major) marching in the Pride of Oklahoma. Also, the videographer of the original Wedding Thriller Dance is the same person who is the voice of the Pride. And we have inside sources that tell us that our video was watched over the summer by some influential people in the band.

Now, we're not going to say that they did the dance solely because of us, but there is a possibility we had some influence. You never know about us old band geeks!

Great Costume. Looks like someone I know

--Jim Rockwood

 
Incidentally, Jim, that big Rockwood head was a costume prepared years ago for a special Halloween performance of the Pride of Oklahoma (they used to dress up if Halloween fell on a game-day Saturday). Funny how it all comes back around, eh?
