August 12, 20214 yr Most of my evenings are spent watching old movies on TCM. Last night Anchors Aweigh with Gene Kelly and a very young Frank Sinatra. I got to thinking who was the better dancer, Gene Kelly or Fred Astaire? For ballroom dancing my pick would be Fred Astaire. But for athletic ability and innovate dancing I would pick Gene Kelly hands down. Watching these old movies make me feel good. I don't have much of a connection to the current culture but I when I watch old movies I reconnect to a culture I'm familiar with. But the sad part is almost all the adults playing in these movies are dead now. And the children in them are either dead or in their 70s and 80s. I'm not criticizing the current culture. I'm just saying it passed me by some time ago when wearing torn jeans with holes in them and displaying near obscenities on T-Shirts were fashionable. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
