I just heard about the new cast of “Dancing With the Stars,” but one name just jumps out at me.
Buzz Aldrin.
Forget about the rest of them. The second man to walk on the moon is going to cut a rug on national TV, trying his best not to make a fool of himself.
I give him a good shot at winning. I don’t know why. Although I don’t watch the show regularly, I have to pull for the guy. He’s 80 years old. He has stayed in great shape. Among the three men who made that historic flight in July 1969, Aldrin has maintained by far the most public profile. Neil Armstrong, Man on the Moon No. 1, and Mike Collins, who flew above the moon in the command ship, have maintained their privacy since their monumental mission. Good for them, too.
But ol’ Buzz has this need to stay in the public eye.
Good going, Buzz. Break a leg.
And here’s just one request: Will you please do a Michael Jackson-style moonwalk during one of your routines?
