Pogoing to the Ska Beat.

   Let's dance!  No better way to work up a sweat than doing the pogo to a first class Ska band. I prefer the Toasters for my pogoing pleasure. For those of you perhaps not familiar, to pogo is alot like it sounds; a frantic sort of bouncing, jumping up and down sort of thing. The ska is of course a horn fueled, jacked up kinda of reggae-like music. The Toasters went on tour in 1983 and never went home, so they should come to your town sooner or later.
   The mosh I tend to avoid. The metal music seems to get some of these lads a bit hyper. I was at a Hank 3 show in Brooklyn not so long ago and as the hardcore part of the show was getting under way, a young gal used her big ol doc martin boot to my lower back to shove me into the mosh. She said " Get in there grandpa."
   Dancing is fun. No stage diving , no crowd surfing.
