Another popular move is an tai-chi-like slow-motion move. A review for the local radio station KWMU said it was “the most awkward and powerful rendition of “white dancing man” you’ve ever seen”.

According to a 2000 article in The Riverfront Times, Beatle Bob’s real name is Robert Matonis. Born in St. Louis in 1953, his parents divorced when he was very young, and he grew up between his mother’s house on the South Side of St. Louis, his grandparents’ house in Baden, and a nearby Catholic boarding school, Mount Providence (now part of the University of Missouri–St. Louis campus). It was at Mount Providence that Matonis acquired the nickname “Beatle Bob”. One day during sixth-grade geography class, he was reading a Beatles magazine concealed within an open textbook. When the nun caught him, she snatched the magazine from him and exclaimed, “That will be enough of that, Beatle Bob!” The name stuck. In 1966, while at Mount Providence, Matonis and fellow pupil Ed Zachow established a rock & roll newsletter entitled U.S. – the United Saviours. After discovering The Beatles at a local record store near his mother’s house on Michigan Avenue, Southside Music, Matonis and friends created a Beatles museum in one of their basements and charged visitors to get in.
