Father Son Spotlight Dance

What eruptions in the human paradigm could possibly take place if there were father-son dances like those for daddies and daughters?

Suppose we said it was just for bonding (which it surely would be) or to encourage ballroom dancing — would wives and girlfriends be encouraging then? What if both the father and son's sexual orientation was clear and usually male desirous?

Presumably none of those things were in mind when Luther Vandross and Richard Marx began work on the song "Dance with my Father," the CD's promotional poster for which is this week's Objet d'eBay. Still, it is a song often chosen by brides for their spotlighted dance with the ceremony's FOB. (Anyone out there know if it has been part of a wedding or civil ceremony between two men?) And it is pretty clear from its use on YouTube that a bunch of men are sincerely moved by the idea of one more dance:



Mop up the tears and bid.
