Body synching...?

I found this thing over on TRex where he was using it to make a point of some political note. Now, I'm of an age where I remember these guys, about the time that Sopwith Camel and the Blues Magooes were putzing around making a lot of rock musicians wonder about maybe going Country or Blues or something with some merit. This is actually not that bad a song, but Jesus Christ, what the fuck are they doing? The vocalist is beating time on his leg suitable for MONYMONY; the guitar player is channeling his inner, although utterly repressed Hendrix...where the hell is the guitar in this song? There's all sorts of stuff happening but none of it has anything to do with the music being played, even though it's supposed to be that -- I never thought that this was something I wanted to sit down and learn, and I still don't. But, it deserved a better early morning Saturday rock regional tv show performance than this one...
