I haven’t heard this before, this is incredible. Thanks for sharing. There were a bunch of phenomena that didn’t quite make sense to me before, which make perfect sense now that I read the quote.

That quote was the inspiration for one of my favourite bits in the Lehman Trilogy, "the twist". There's a glimpse of it in the trailer here https://youtu.be/Lo4VC43h7ts?si=ebl9WwK2NIgW0sHD&t=49

"Bobby Lehman is ninety three years old and he dances the twist. He is 100 years old! 120! Maybe 140! He dances like a madman!"
