Re: [TANGO-L] Tango Nuevo and Argentine Tango. What is the difference?
Derik has channeled some French thus:
"Why make it simple, when you can make it complicated, and therefore much
more interesting."
To help understand this curious statement consider programming VCR with
remote control. Or navigating iPod interface with several thousand songs
loaded in it.
Anyone familiar with usability might answer: "So that you could explore more
fundamental and therefore more exciting issues, for example".
Obviously you have not read this book:

and consequently you are not aware that there are interesting activities
beyond masochistic.

Dear Larry:
With all due respect, that look on the women's faces,
the trance, probably comes from them not being
required to do anything. They can relax, because
nothing much is happening, and nothing much will
happen. I see the same look on women's faces when
they are asleep. Me, I prefer to see aome sparks of
electricity passing between partners in tango, a true
conversation between equal partners. I am not looking
for a Stepford wife. I am looking for someone who has
something to say to me. I like exciting women. As the
French say, "Why make it simple, when you can make it
complicated, and therefore much more interesting." My
humble opinion.
Derik
