JOLLY DAYS

Dancing Matt

The story of dancing Matt was covered on a TV show today — and produced one of the funnier lines of the week as well. Matt on his travels recorded his dances for his family, and it made Matt a net star.

When he was asked what kind of dance it is, Matt said: “It's not a dance. It's just what my body does.” As Jerry Seinfeld's mom said: “how could you not like this boy?”. (Matt's 28.)

Matt's movie is inexplicably larger than itself. Something about the joyful meaninglessness of things — the absurdity and energy and pointlessness of our transitory existence; dancing our little dance and traveling on. Something like that.
