He didn’t polishe his shoes.
There was a time when Michael’s managers were worried about his shoes and requested the costume designer to polish them. However, this decision greatly upset Michael. He explained that the leather was intentionally worn in a specific way that allowed him to execute his dance moves perfectly, and polishing them would make the surface too slippery, causing difficulties during his performances.
Just like the entire world when it comes to literally any situation at all, you two are absolutely damn sure you know the truth when you actually have no f@#king clue. You weren't there. You know all of jack sh#t.
and yet no one's ever heard of Roy Castle....
Google is your friend.
I admit I have never liked his singing, and all I can tell is he was a dancer who got famous. His "costume" choices were as meaningless as he was. He could write songs fairly well, but they were ALWAYS better when someone else sang them.
You seem to know extraordinarily little about armbands and their usage in history. Let me guess, you learned what you "know" from movies. Am I right?
