Thread Name: What is Morris Dancing for?
Subject: RE: What is Morris Dancing for?
Some say it goes back to the Neanderthals and their knuckle, dragging rituals where they danced and pulverized their excrement into the soil.

In Chicago we know that it is a tribute dance to the Grant Park police riots of 1968 where the police force clubbed and gassed protesters against the VietNam War.
