Garvey in September

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S8ZrQG0y6g

That's Garvey's "G-chat Status." Looks like he's getting his dancing in on the back end of the month. That sounds dirty.

I haven't spoken to Garvey about this yet. I'm positively curious why he's chosen this video to represent him as an individual. He'll probably give me an answer like, "that's a great song man." And while that may be true, why post it? Something deep within Garvey whispered to him, and do you know what it said? Share. This feeling that the world wouldn't spin straight would not leave him until he shared his joy.

Garvey thought, why not let everyone bask in the glory of the Earth, Wind, and Fire. These are not mere elements of the gods, they are available to all (in song form, of course). Clearly, it had gotten him through his hardships, why couldn't it help us get through ours? What if dancing in September was the ultimate goal in life? Not the song, the action. What if dancing in the month of September brought the rains in May? You never know. This could be some seriously cosmic shit we're dealing with here. Garvey could be perpetrating an event, nay a tradition, that's been happening for thousands of years. A tradition that has guaranteed the survival of our species.

Ok, I've gone weird. I apologize. It's just a lot to think about. There's some seriously deep meaning behind Garvey's choice to advertise this song, don't kid yourself. It's not as if he simply heard it over the weekend and decided the rest of us may enjoy it on a monday morning too.
