In my common book, I include without attribution the sort-of-bumper-sticker-and-teeshirt-aphorism “Dance like no one’s watching, and love like it’s never gonna hurt.” A friend of mine checking out my site noticed, and wrote to tell me it’s from a 1988 lyric from singer-songwriter Guy Clark. Since my reaction was that Clark had probably grabbed it from somewhere else, I embarked on a Google search to see if I could get a bead on its provenance . I haven’t pursued it too far, though; it turns out that there are about 558,000 indexed hits on the phrase “Dance like no one’s watching…” in Google! What is perhaps most amazing is that most of them seem to be to found embedded in this saccharin meditation which is posted over and over again, unattributed (warning: often accompanied by a Windham-Hill-like soundtrack). And they say the real danger is that the Internet is degenerating into a commercial vehicle! [thanks, Rich]
