The BBC Parties with Usain Bolt

You know you’re a bloody bleedin’ gigantic star when the esteemed British Broadcasting Company sees fit to spend their time shooting a three-minute video of you hanging out in the club on some random night and then inter-cutting that with some interview footage of you explaining to the world how you really, really, really like music.

↵↵Such is the stature of the sprinter/superhero known as Usain Bolt. In this video over at BBC Sport Usain-in-the-Membrane is captured in all his glory at the Quad Club in Kingston, Jamaica. ↵

↵↵What is he doing there, you ask? Oh, you know, dancing. And don’t even bother asking whether he’s a good dancer. Does Charles Barkley double down at the blackjack table when he’s showing eleven and the dealer’s up card is a five? It’s a stupid question, innit? Likewise with Usain and the dancing. ↵

↵↵I know what you’re wondering, though. With Usain’s busy lifestyle, how on earth does he manage to keep up with all the new songs, and all the new dances? Luckily, the interviewer in this video sees fit to ask him exactly that, and he has a surprising answer at the ready. He has a thing called an “iPod” and he loads music onto it from this other thing called “the Internet.” He also frequents a site known as “YouTube.” Good to know that in this day and age of frivolous blogging that we can still count on the BBC to nail the tough stories.↵
