The move, in HFOS, where RF pokes himself in the unibrow is magnificent...

There are some hilarious quotes in the book, where Forster is going around telling interviewers that he and and Bobby Womack are the only two stage performers who can do the double flip....

There's no doubt about, Forster cuts a serious rug in HFOS, and his Prince-inspired outfit is hilarious.

But there's something about Robert Vickers' dancing in said video that completely rocks my world. Maybe it's a combination of his smooth moves, that stylish suit, and the fact that he's also playing bass.

It must be remembered that in Robert Forster we have the man that taught Prince all his moves. At least that is what he told an NME interviewer in the mid 80s!

What is a 'unibrow'? Eyesbrows that meet in the middle? RF's eyebrows deserve a thread of their own.

Yes, it's that effect where you basically just have one eyebrow...I just used the word for comic effect - I may be doing RF an injustice.

Though his eyebrows really ARE something, like two stinging caterpillars crawled up there...They should have their own separate performing career, their own dressing room, get their name on the marquee, and possibly, receive songwriting royalties!
